The teen appeared in front of a juvenile court magistrate Thursday morning and was ordered to remain in the detention center until a hearing before juvenile court Judge Daniel Phillips on Feb. 27.
The freshman sent an email to all students and staff threatening students who attend Edgewood High School.
In the email the teen said he was “filled with rage” and was going to come to school and “take out” students, according to court documents filed by a Butler County Sheriff’s Office detective.
Another student email account had been manipulated to hide the alleged student’s identity, according to the sheriff’s office.
The school was on lockdown for more than a hour as a result of the threat, and dismissal was delayed.
