14-year-old arrested for school violence threat in Oswego County
On Friday, March 23, 2018, State Police in Pulaski received a call from a parent of a Mexico Middle School student who advised that her 12-year-old daughter received a message from an unknown source of a possible school shooting Monday, March 26, 2018, at the Mexico Middle School.
State Police immediately began investigating the threat, which included assistance from the Troop D Computer Crime Unit. As a result of the investigation, a 14-year-old was arrested for one count of third-degree falsely reporting an incident, a class A misdemeanor, and issued an Oswego County Family Court appearance ticket.
The name of the juvenile will not be released due to their age.
