Butler County Sheriff’s deputies, with the assistance of the West Chester Twp. Police Department, took immediate action and found the girl at her residence in West Chester Twp. The teen admitted to posting the threat stating, “it was just a joke.”
She was charged with making terroristic threats a third-degree felony and transported to the Butler County Juvenile Detention Center.
“The word joke is defined as something said or done to evoke laughter. No one is laughing and we have yet another juvenile in custody for this, which is just sad,” said Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones.
