A 16-year-old is facing charges of terroristic threats after a threatening Snapchat post concerning Ridgeland High School surfaced on May 17th, according to Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson. The teenager is currently being held at the juvenile detention center. The investigation began on Monday after school administrators alerted parents to monitor their children’s social media activity while authorities worked to identify the source of the threats. In a message previously sent to parents, Ridgeland High School Principal James Morrison explained that a Snapchat account was posting “ominous and threatening messages” that had been shared with the Walker County Sheriff’s Office.
