Middle School Student Arrested After Threat To Kill Teacher: Cops

OAK CREEK, WI — An Oak Creek East Middle School student has been arrested after authorities say he threatened to kill a substitute teacher in the school following an incident inside the school.

Police responded to Oak Creek East Middle School just after 3:30 p.m. this week on a report of a disorderly student.

According to Oak Creek police reports, additional police were requested at East Middle School for a student who made threats to kill a substitute teacher before fleeing school grounds. Reports stated that the student was found outside the school and arrested.

Reports indicated that police talked with several teachers and staff who said that a substitute teacher was leading a class that day when the student in question began pounding on the classroom door to be let in.

According to police reports, the student was not assigned to that class, and was believed to be trying to speak to his girlfriend in that classroom. The student who was pounding on the door began to yell profanities and threatened to kill the teacher.

He was transported to the Juvenile Justice Center and his case was set to begin on Monday.
