Marshall County [AL] teen charged with making terrorist threat to school

The Marshall County Sheriff’s Office says an 18-year-old was arrested on Tuesday for making a terrorist threat to other students at Brindlee Mountain High School.

Sheriff Phil Sims said that on Feb.10, a Marshall County school resource officer at Brindlee Mountain High School became aware of a social media post made by a student, identified by the sheriff as Jaxon Minyard, 18, of Arab, holding a gun of some sort. The sheriff said the caption on the post read “School shooter final boss.”

Sims said Minyard was removed from class by the SRO, and school administrators and deputies were dispatched to the school.

The sheriff said after deputies talked to Minyard and his mother, Minyard was charged with second-degree making a terrorist due to what Sims called the threatening nature of the picture, caption and the intent to intimidate other students.
