On January 24, 2018, the Calloway County Sheriff’s Office and Calloway County School system received numerous complaints of a social media post of a threat against the Calloway County High School. The joint investigation with the Sheriff’s Office and School Officials led to several interviews throughout the night. It also led to no credible threat being established. The investigation did show the spread of this alleged threat through a social media posting that led to considerable public alarm. The Calloway County Sheriff’s Office has charged a 14 year old student with Falsely Reporting an Incident. There will be additional security at Calloway County Schools.
