Police have a suspect in custody following an online threat of violence against a school in neighboring Beaver County last week.
State Police in Troop D Beaver Station were notified of the threat against South Side School District in Greene Township Friday (2/16).
The threat was eventually traced through an internet site outside of the country to a physical location in Youngstown, Ohio. A juvenile suspect has been interviewed and placed in a detention facility on charges including menacing the public and making terroristic threats. Federal charges are pending approval from the U.S. Attorney.
State Police were assisted by school police, Ohio authorities, and the FBI in the investigation into the threat.
