A total of six juveniles have been arrested and charged with making terroristic threats that sent shockwaves through the River Region over the weekend after multiple social media posts making violent threats to surrounding schools flooded social media.
The Montgomery Police Department (MPD) recently announced the arrest of an 11-year-old female, who was swiftly released to a guardian due to her age. Two other juveniles, a male and female, both 13, were arrested on Sunday and Monday and transported to the Montgomery County Youth Detention Facility.
The arrests came after a series of social media posts made various threats to schools in the tri-county area on Sunday.
It’s unclear what posts are related to which arrests since there have been multiple arrests related to other threats made. Millbrook Police also arrested two 12-year-olds related to online threats directed toward Stanhope Elmore High School and Millbrook Middle School. The two Montgomery arrests came after threats directed towards Bellingrath and McKee Middle Schools. However, other posts also featured similar threats to Prattville High School, Prattville Middle School and several others in the area. More arrests may be forthcoming.
