Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – Aug 20, 2024 – The school year started with an online threat directed toward Jonesboro High School.
A female student posted on Snapchat “dress code on the first day is f****** crazy” then below, “I was cute too” and “finna shoot the school up”.
The head of security called police, and the girl and her step-father were asked to come to the police station for an interview. They both agreed to speak with law enforcement without a lawyer.
During the interview, the student told how she went through the metal detector and was asked to step to the side near several other girls. All of these girls were told that their clothing was out of the dress code and that they needed to go change. She did and went back to class.
The step-father added that the student has no access to any firearms. She told police she didn’t really plan to do any harm…some people she knows joke around like that and she had no intentions to actually do it.
