The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest in threats made to a school.

Officials with Jefferson County Schools contacted the SRO assigned to Patriot Academy in Jefferson City last (Thursday) night about a threat that had been seen on social media.

JCSO says the SRO and investigators and an agent with the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security began researching the threat.

Deputies went to a residence very early this morning (Friday) and arrested a juvenile student for threats of mass violence on school property.

The juvenile is currently being held at the Richard L. Bean Juvenile Detention Center in Knoxville.
