MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TX- Pct. 5 Constable Chris Jones’s Office learned Saturday a Magnolia Intermediate School student texted a threat claiming they planned to take a firearm to school Monday and shoot two other students. The student also sent a photo of the gun with the threat.
Pct. 5 Constable’s Office School Resource Deputies went to the student’s home and at the end of the investigation, they arrested the student for “exhibition, Use, or Threat of Exhibition or Use of a Firearm” (Texas Education Code 37.125) after the Montgomery County Attorney’s Office (who handles juvenile criminal cases) accepted charges. Pct. 5 notified Magnolia ISD officials of the arrest and told them school actives could safely resume Monday morning.
Precinct 5 Constable Chris Jones’s Office works directly with Magnolia ISD on a daily basis to keep students, staff and visitors safe.
“We will continue to take every threat seriously and investigate them quickly to ensure safety at MISD campuses,” Constable Jones said.
