On Tuesday, Oct. 12, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a Buddy Taylor Middle School student threatening to shoot a teacher and a student.
The BTMS teacher stated that other students in the classroom overheard what the student said. After deputies were notified, they made contact with the student at his residence, and he was arrested. The student did not wish to speak with deputies any further.
“Making threats to others is no joke and will always be taken seriously,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “It is unfortunate how often we have to make these arrests. Parents, I ask that you please teach your children the proper way to handle anger and that making threats or acting out is not the solution. I once again implore parents to be the sheriff in your home and talk to your children. We don’t want to be the sheriff of your child, but we will if you don’t.”
The student was arrested without incident for Two Counts of Threats to Kill and transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility for processing. He was then turned over to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice.
This is the sixth similar arrest of a student in the last 30 days.
