A witness said that the boy posted on social media that he was going to bash another student’s head into a brick wall and then bring a gun to school to kill him. This incident was sparked when the defendant saw his ex-girlfriend walking with the other boy to school last week.
This is not the first incident that has been related to these types of threats at Crestview. The school is taking the threat seriously but has received threats three other times on their premises this year.
Crestview Gun Threat Laws
When somebody makes criminal threats against another party, it can incite fear into the victims who are affected by the incident. Criminal threats are always made with the intent to place somebody in fear of injury or death. In doing so, a threat should always be taken seriously by law enforcement, but this could mean serious penalties to those who make the threats and intend to follow through. In Florida, you could face up to a year in county jail, fines of more than $10,000 in some cases, and a variety of other penalties.
