The girl was charged by verified complaint with making threats toward Assumption High School and particular individuals.
Those threats were made on Wednesday. Non stop investigation since the posts were first delivered led to de-tectives quickly identifying the suspect.
Detectives arrested the suspect early Thursday and charged her. The juvenile was released to the custody of her parents pending court proceedings.
The suspect is not a student of the Assumption Parish School System.
The Sheriff’s Office does not believe the threat to have been credible and there was no activity in furtherance of the threat.
