Police said they acted Thursday night on an anonymous tip that the teen sent social media messages threatening to become a school shooter.
Investigators said they developed probable cause to arrest and charge him with Intimidating Written/Electronic Threat of Mass Shooting.
“Threatening to commit a school shooting is not a joke, it is a felony, and it will land you in jail. Sanford Police officers will continue to follow up on and quickly act on these reports.” Chief Cecil Smith said in a news release.
The incident comes on the heels of the arrest of a Seminole County Public Schools student earlier this week.
