Lee County Student Charged With Making Threat

MOOREVILLE (WCBI) – For the second straight day Lee County deputies have made an arrest in a school threat case.

Deputies were on campus Wednesday following up on a threat made against Mooreville schools last Friday.

Students  stepped forward Wednesday to tell deputies a certain student had made a threat.

Officers interviewed the student and they have been charged with disturbing a school setting and simple assault by threats.

Today’s arrest is being treated separately from last week’s incident at Mooreville.

Tuesday investigators charged a Nettleton student with threatening that district.
