HD Perry Education Center is an alternative high school.
Officials allege that Adams posted three alarming messages on his Snapchat on Tuesday.
“I’ma show these [expletive] what [expletive] happens when you [expletives] take advantage of me,” the message read. “[Expletive] I’ll kill you [expletive]. I’ll kill you all.”
“Dawg I’m done with this school,” another message read. “I’m done tryna be nice to [expletive], I’m done trying to [expletive] bruh, I’m done with everything and every [expletive] one man. I’m done.”
“My revenge starts now. Watch how my plan come to in to wishon [expletive],” read the last message. “Hope ya’ll [expletive] die sooner than you fake [expletive] [expletive] could possibly think of. See you [expletive] soon.”
A student at the school took notice of the posts and alerted a school resource officer. The officer recognized Adams and took him into custody.
According to the officer, Adams confessed to making the posts.
Adams was charged with writing or sending a threat to kill or injure.
Students at the school came to his defense, calling him a nice kid. They also believe he was being bullied.
“I was very surprised when I’d seen that he was in jail, because he’s always smiling,” classmate Heaven Knott said. “He’s a very humble person.”
“Myron’s a really sweet, genuine person and honestly this really surprised me a lot, because I know he wouldn’t do anything like that for no reason,” classmate Daija Rowe added. “I feel like somebody was messing with him.”
The student’s mother appeared in court defending her son, Thursday.
“Your honor, my son is a good boy,” she said. “He won’t hurt a flea. Snapchat, social media, that’s what it is. He don’t have access to any ammunition or anything like that. We keep a close watch on him.”
“In today’s day and age, these words are taken very seriously,” the judge said.
The judge set his bond at $7,500 and was ordered not to use social media or the internet except for school work.
If Adams bonds out of jail, he will have to wear an ankle monitor. It’s also likely that he will not be allowed to return to campus.
