MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — A 19-year-old Murfreesboro man was arrested Wednesday after allegedly making a threat against Christ Presbyterian Academy (CPA), where he works part-time in dining services.
Police say the incident stemmed from a domestic dispute between Max Overholt and his father at their home in Murfreesboro on Tuesday. During the argument, Overholt reportedly told his father that he would shoot up CPA if he wanted. The statement was reported to Murfreesboro Police, who investigated the matter.
Overholt was taken into custody and charged with false reporting and making a threat of mass violence. He is being held on $20,000 bond.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said threats against schools and institutions are treated with the utmost seriousness, and individuals found responsible will face prosecution.

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
