St. Clair County Warning Script

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE SAINT CLAIR SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO EVERYONE IN THE METRO EAST TO NOT SCREENSHOT OR SHARE ANY SCHOOL THREATS SEEN POSTED ONLINE. 

THIS COMES AFTER SEVERAL SCHOOL THREATS WERE REPORTED AT MULTIPLE SCHOOLS YESTERDAY. 

THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, AS WELL AS ILLINOIS STATE POLICE, EAST SAINT LOUIS POLICE, AND THE FBI WORKED TOGETHER TO DETERMINE HOW TO HANDLE EACH ONE. 

A NOTICE RELEASED THIS MORNING FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAYS SCREENSHOTS AND SHARES OF THE POSTS MAKE IT SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DIFFICULT TO TRACK DOWN ITS ORIGIN AND A SUSPECT.

ANYTHING SEEN ONLINE SHOULD ONLY BE SHOWN TO POLICE. 

THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE ARRESTED A JUVENILE YESTERDAY AND SAY THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THERE ARE CURRENTLY ANY CREDIBLE THREATS TO THE SCHOOLS.
