15-Year-Old Charged For Threats Against Mt. Pleasant High School

A 15-year-old has been charged for threats against Mt. Pleasant High School, according to the Mt. Pleasant Police Department.

Around 7:50 a.m. Thursday, officers from the Mt. Pleasant Police Department responded to a written gun threat found at Mt. Pleasant High School.

Police say the school was already in enhanced secure mode when officers arrived.

They say they conducted a complete security check of the school, and as an extra precaution, brought in bomb sniffing dogs. Police say there were no weapons or bombs found during these searches.

The Mt. Pleasant Police Department states that while on site, they spoke with the student who initially discovered and reported the threat, and found inconsistencies in their statement.

They say the same student later admitted to writing the gun threats on Tuesday and Thursday.

The investigation report was turned over to the Isabella County Prosecutor’s Office, which led to the detention of the 15-year-old, who is charged with two counts of intentional threat to commit act of violence against the school.

Police say one count is a felony, and the other count is a misdemeanor.
