Candler County sheriff's deputies arrested a Metter Middle School student on Tuesday for making threats of harm. The 13-year-old boy "threatened several students," said Candler County sheriff's Capt. Justin Wells. School officials notified the school resource officer of the incident, and the SRO "took swift action and opened an investigation" that led to the teen being charged with several counts of terroristic threats, he said. The arrest follows two in Bulloch County last week.
