Oro Valley Police announced Sunday they are investigating a threat made to Canyon del Oro High School via an Instagram post.
OVPD says it received reports of the threat Saturday, and identified the owner of the Instagram account as a 15-year-old student.
Police then located and arrested the student for “making a terroristic threat and interference/disruption of an education facility.” Police say the student admitted to creating the post, but “denied any intention to threaten or harm anyone.”
OVPD adds that Amphitheater School District also received several anonymous tips about the threat, and that the districts take threats very seriously.
There may be an additional law enforcement presence at CDO this week “out of an abundance of caution and to instill a sense of security.”
