The Copus Christi Police Department is aware of the threats made to a local school that were circulating on social media yesterday. Once the department was made aware officers began to investigate to locate the source.

At approximately 10:30 pm last night the 14-year-old male juvenile was located and identified. He was taken into custody and transported to the Nueces County Juvenile Justice center. He was charged with terroristic threat.

The safety and security of our citizens is our highest priority, and we take all threats made toward our campuses, students, and staff seriously.
