Juvenile arrested in school threat

Assumption Parish Sheriff Leland Falcon reported that a verified complaint has been filed against a 14-year-old male in connection with the threatening note found at the Pierre Part Elementary School on Wednesday.

Detectives took the juvenile into custody Thursday for processing on a charge of terrorizing.

After a thorough search of the school, the sheriff said, no weapons were found. There were no acts in furtherance of the threat and the school is back to its normal operating procedures.

The juvenile in question will be released to the custody of his parents.

Any discipline measures will be handled by the school administration.

Falcon commends all who worked diligently to move this matter to conclusion and to all students and staff for their cooperation.
