Schools in Georgia will soon be back in session, but some residents apparently aren’t ready for the summer to end and will even break the law to keep the doors of learning from reopening.

On Thursday, Metter Chief of Police McKinley Lewis said his office had received a tip about a threat to carry out a violent act against faculty, staff, and students at Metter High School, and the law enforcement agency took immediate action. An initial investigation led them to a location within the City of Metter and to an individual they believe produced the threat. Investigators gathered facts and evidence, and after conducting interviews, made an arrest of a juvenile, who was not a student at Metter High School. That juvenile has been charged with criminal attempt to commit murder, and terroristic threats and acts.

While investigating, Metter police remained in communication with the Department of Juvenile Justice, the District Attorney’s Office, Candler County Schools, and the Candler County Sheriff’s Office.

And Metter isn’t the only school district reporting such activity Thursday. According to WMAZ news in Macon, Wheeler and Telfair County Schools also received threatening robo calls Thursday morning. Those calls claimed there was a bomb at schools in those counties, and officials evacuated the buildings and called law enforcement to investigate. Wheeler County utilized the services of search dogs and cleared all buildings before noon.

Police say threats of this nature are taken seriously and not a prank and anyone traced to these threats will be held accountable regardless of their age or location.

Most schools in Georgia are scheduled to welcome students back to class next week.
