The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office arrest a Gray teen in connection with a social media threat that he was attempting to acquire a gun and bring it to HL Bourgeois High School Thursday. Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Blake Tabor said they received an anonymous tip Wednesday afternoon and soon after took him into custody.
“He did confirm that he was the one that sent the message. Of course, he alleged it was a joke between him and the other student, and he was ultimately arrested for charges of terrorizing,” said Tabor.
Tabor said the patrol division quickly identified who sent the message and the suspect is being held without bond at the Terrebonne Parish Juvenile Justice Complex.
“Regardless of the intent of the suspect, if in fact, his intent was that it was a joke, we certainly don’t take it that way, our public doesn’t take it that way, nor should we,” said Tabor.
The juvenile’s name nor age has been revealed and the Tabor said more information will be released once it’s available. He said the investigation is ongoing.
“We’re just grateful that we were able to get him into custody and potentially stop any kind of incident from happening,” said Tabor.
