MANCHESTER, Tenn. (WTVF) — A possible threat was directed at Coffee County Schools on social media, leading Coffee County Sheriff's Office SROs and investigators to look into the sincerity of it. The threat was not specific to one school.
School administrators are aware, and officials said that security will be heightened at all schools in the area of the possible threat.
According to the Coffee County sheriff, they have identified the individual responsible for the threat as a 16-year-old from Franklin County. When investigators spoke with the teen, he admitted to sending the tweet, the sheriff's office said. He was taken into custody and is set to appear before a judge on Monday afternoon.
The post is no longer on Twitter, though the account is still active.
