Teenager Charged With Terrorism Under Patriot Act After Swearing at Teacher
The Jackson Citizen Patriot | October 4 2004
A student accused of threatening to kill school officials faces a charge of making terrorist threats, authorities said.
Police officers in Jackson County's Blackman Township arrested and jailed the 17-year-old boy Thursday, pending his arraignment.
The teen, a student at an alternative high school in Northwest Community Schools, made the threats Sept. 25 at the Northwest High School football stadium. It happened during a confrontation with a school employee at the homecoming game, officials said.
The student was "loud, profane and abusive" and "started making threats to the employee, advising that he was going to get a gun," Thomas Finco, the township's public safety director, and school district Superintendent Dennis Desmarais said in a joint statement.
No weapons were involved and there was no assault, but officers seized a gun from the student's home. He does not own the firearm, Desmarais said.
"We take any threat to our staff or students or school very seriously," he told The Jackson Citizen Patriot.
