Arrest made in Hamilton Southeastern threat

Monday the Fishers Police Department launched an investigation into a potential act of violence against Hamilton Southeastern Schools. The message alluding to a violent act was posted during a “live” social media event at Hamilton Southeastern High School.

Fishers police investigators and Hamilton Southeastern School officials worked thru the night and determined the threat was not credible, but most likely a hoax.

Investigators were able to identify the person responsible for the hoax and Tuesday afternoon arrested a 16-year-old Lawrence Central High School student. The juvenile was taken into custody, charged with two level 6 felonies which included False Informing and Obstruction of Justice and transported to the Hamilton County Juvenile Detention Center without incident.
