CASS COUNTY, Ind. -- Deputies have arrested a 15-year-old accused of making threats toward a school in Walton.
According to the Cass County Sheriff's Office, a school resource officer with Lewis Cass Schools launched an investigation on Monday after being notified of a potential school threat.
The suspect, who authorities confirmed was a 15-year-old male student, was detained before school officials enacted lockdown procedures. CCSO said deputies recovered weapons that the student was in possession of but these reportedly did not include any firearms.
