Glenbard North Teen Accused Of Drawing Threatening Images At School

CAROL STREAM, IL — A 15-year-old Glenbard North High School student has been accused of drawing threatening images at school.

Police say that on May 20, the boy drew pictures on a test before handing it in to his teacher. One image depicted a stick figure with a gun to his head and standing outside of a building that was labeled "summer skol." The image was accompanied by the words, "I love summer skol."

Another image depicted a stick figure holding a rifle. That image included an arrow that read, "happy. [N]ot dead."

“As I have said before, school safety remains a top priority of my administration and we will continue to work in partnership with school personnel in identifying students who are in need of services in order to prevent any future acts of violence,” DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement.

Berlin added, “No matter how harmless a student may view their actions to be, the fact remains that any threat involving a juvenile must be fully investigated by law enforcement and where appropriate, will be handed over to the juvenile justice system."

The accused student appeared at a detention hearing May 27 and was later released to his parents' custody. He was charged with one felony count of disorderly conduct and is scheduled to appear in court again June 3.
