Roswell Police Arrest 14-Year-Old Student Over Online Threat Against Elkins Pointe Middle School

The Roswell Police Department (RPD) has arrested a 14-year-old student in connection with online threats made against Elkins Pointe Middle School. On the evening of Friday, September 6, RPD received multiple reports from concerned community members regarding an anonymous Instagram account threatening the school. Investigators traced the post to a residence in Roswell and, during the investigation, the student admitted to posting the threat as a “joke.”

A search warrant executed at the student’s home resulted in the seizure of a replica pellet gun, which was featured in the original threat. The juvenile has been charged with Terroristic Threats and Acts and Domestic Terrorism and is currently held at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center.

This arrest follows a series of similar cases across the state, where young individuals have been charged for making threats against their communities. Georgia law enforcement emphasizes that such threats are criminal offenses and will be met with full investigative and legal action.
