Edgewood High School student arrested after making school threat

TRENTON, Ohio ‒ An Edgewood High School student was arrested after he allegedly sent a threatening email to the entire school on Monday, according to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office.

The 15-year-old freshman “manipulated” another student’s email address and used it to send the threat, Sheriff Richard Jones said.

Deputies say the teen was charged on Wednesday with inducing panic and aggravated menacing.

“If you plan to threaten any person in our community, you will be held accountable,” Sheriff Jones said.

It is currently unknown what the email said.

The student is being held at the Butler County Juvenile Detention Center.
