WATSON – A teenager was arrested for terrorizing after they shared a picture of a man holding a weapon in front of a building with a caption that stated harm to Live Oak High School. Deputies with the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office said an agent with the FBI obtained an address for the user who posted the picture threatening the school. Contact was made with the juvenile early Friday morning. The juvenile, a 13-year-old, was arrested for terrorizing and is being held in Florida Parishes Detention Center. The arrest was made prior to the start of school and no students were in danger.

Sheriff Jason Ard says, “Let it be known that these posts/comments are taken very seriously. We have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy when it comes to our children’s safety. We are watching. Our local law enforcement partners are watching – including the FBI. Parents, you really need to talk to your children about what they are posting. AGAIN, WE HAVE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY IN PLACE.”On Wednesday, in a separate incident, a student was arrested for bringing a gun to Live Oak Junior High. Permalink| Comments
