The threat was alleged against "CHS" originally on Snapchat and ended up making its way onto other formats. Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers says just after midnight Monday morning, their office was inundated with phone calls about the alleged threat.

 

 

Superintendent of Clinton Schools Curt Nettles, making sure the threat was not credible went into the early morning hours as several individuals were working to find the source of the threat and determine its credibility.

 

 

Once the threat was deemed to be a threat that was not a threat made locally, Chief Lowers says the objective became damage control.

 

 

Chief Lowers is critical of social media and the fact a simple message crafted in a matter of moments can cause so much chaos and dedication of resources across the country.

 

 

Nettles indicates they did bring in a few additional security measures to the building Monday morning as a precautionary measure. 

 

A juvenile in New Mexico has been arrested for the post.
