by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — A 17-year-old juvenile male from Caldwell was charged Monday with one count of aggravated criminal threat, a level 5 person felony; or alternatively a criminal threat, a level 9 person felony which resulted in a lockdown of the Caldwell Public School building last week.
The juvenile, whose name is being withheld because he is under 18, has been charged by the Sumner County Attorney’s office with “unlawfully, feloniously, and willfully threaten to commit violence while in school,” on Friday, Oct. 25, 2013.
According to the complaint, that while in school, the juvenile allegedly used words indicating that he was so mad he could kill someone, possibly one of the students.
He allegedly made such a threat with reckless disregard of the risk of causing a lockdown of any building at the Caldwell USD 360 school district, the complaint read.
The juvenile and his mother are required to appear before Sumner County juvenile court on November 27 at 3:30 p.m. At that time the juvenile will answer to the offense charges in the complaint.
Caldwell School District operated a lockdown drill in which all doors were locked last week.
