Problems continued Wednesday in Hamilton County. A school administrator notified the Sheriff’s Office School Resource Deputy assigned to Chattanooga School for the Arts and Sciences of a group text message between students and a former student involving a threat to CSAS.
The student posted several images of schematics for an explosive device and armor-piercing bullets and requested help getting a school diagram or map.
The former student who made these threats was identified as a current student at Ivy Academy. The HCSO SRD from CSAS and an HCSO SRD Sergeant responded to Ivy Academy to interview the student. The student confessed to making the threat and was arrested and transported to the Hamilton County Juvenile Detention Center without further incident.
The student is being charged with:
– Threats of Mass Violence
As this incident pertains to a juvenile, no further information is available.
