CORAL GABLES, FLA. (WSVN) - A student at Coral Gables Senior High School has been arrested after being accused of making threats.
According to Miami-Dade Schools, police arrested a senior who they said is associated with creating social media accounts under other students’ names.
The senior is accused of posting threats such as blowing up the school.
“We did arrest a young man who created fake accounts on Gmail impersonating other individuals and using their fake IDs as a means of threatening the school environment,” said Miami-Dade Public Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho.
He said the district takes all types of threats seriously.
“We have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to threats against schools that result in disturbances to the learning environment,” said Carvalho. “We investigate all of them, and we use the full weight of the law to prosecute those who commit these offenses.”
Police arrested the student Tuesday morning.
Students at Coral Gables Senior High were relieved to hear swift action was taken to ensure safety.
“I’m really glad they caught him,” said one student.
This is the second arrest in less than a week at Miami-Dade Schools in regards to school threats.
Another student from an unnamed appeared in court Tuesday, facing similar charges. That student was sentenced to juvenile detention and will not be returning to school.
Hoax threats have been reported in recent weeks against a number of schools across South Florida, disrupting classes and launching investigations involving the FBI.
