The Palmyra Police Department said they arrested a Brockport man after an investigation into a threat made against the Palmyra-Macedon School District. Police say they were told about a social media post on Tuesday that showed a gun being pointed at a school, along with a threatening message.

The report said the suspect was a former student.

Douglas R. Adams from Brockport, 18, was arrested. He was at the campus when the threat was made and posted to social media, police say.

He was taken by Palmyra officers to the Palmyra Police Department and was then transported to the Wayne County Jail, awaiting arraignment, the report mentions. Police say Adams will then go to Palmyra Village Court.
