MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, PA —An alleged threat against the Pennsbury School District last week started in a township store, according to published reports.

Pennsbury Schools Superintendent Thomas Smith had sent a letter to parents about an alleged threat made against three schools Thursday, but later updated it to say that a Lower Makefield Township Police investigation determined there was no threat.

Further details reported by Levittown Now reveal that Middletown Township police were informed of an incident involving a former Pennsbury High School student and a cashier at the Michaels store at Lincoln Plaza.

The published report stated that the individual was tracked down at his Temple University apartment and was taken for a mental health evaluation.
