Threat At Perry Hall Middle School Ends In Arrest: Police

PERRY HALL, MD — A student who attends Perry Hall Middle School was arrested Sunday in connection with an online threat, according to the Baltimore County Police Department. Police said that the youth used social media to threaten the middle school.

Although the threat was deemed not credible, authorities said that there would be a "heavy police presence" at the middle school in the 4300 block of Ebenezer Road on Monday, Nov. 20, as a precaution.

The student was arrested Sunday evening and made the threat earlier in the day, according to authorities. Officials called the case "isolated" and said that the juvenile acted alone.

The Perry Hall Middle student used Instagram to threaten harm against students or faculty at the school on Monday morning, police said.
