Arrest made in Oxford school threat

Oxford police have arrested a 17-year-old in connection with a "terroristic threat" that prompted a lockdown at Oxford High School Sept. 18.  Chief Bill Partridge announced the arrest, which occurred Monday. Police released no other details about the person arrested.

Partridge stated. "With forensic evidence investigators were able to identify the offender."  Officers were called to the school at 9:55 a.m. Sept 18 when school administrators discovered an anonymous note on a bathroom floor stating there would be a shooting that day. As a precaution, the school was locked down and a search was conducted using K-9 units.

After the school was cleared, the note was taken for forensic examination.
