 This morning, a heavy police presence at Belfry High School had some parents and students on high alert. Pike County Sheriff Rodney Scott tells Mountain Top News there were three deputies and two Kentucky State troopers there as students were arriving after an alleged threat was made yesterday evening. One of the students' parents called here at the Sheriff's office last night, I don't know, he was a little after nine, and you know, told us what her son had been telling her, so we go talk to the son. In the meantime, KSP gets a call from a parent, they go talk to that child, we go talk to this one. At that time, we still didn't have a source, so you know, we made plans to be at school this morning. I called Superintendent Atkins last night, had him make sure the principal was aware of what was going on, and you know, like I said, us and KSP were both involved, so we was there this morning. Yes, anytime somebody makes a threat like this, yes, we take it very seriously. And you know, it's a shame that it's come to this, but it's just social media and the way our society is now, so you know, anytime somebody makes a threat, you know, we try to put a stop to it right then. The student who allegedly made the threat was identified and questioned by school officials and police as he arrived this morning on school property. From what I understand, the school board has suspended him for so many days, and then he's got to also be evaluated with a threat assessment, but evaluation. At any time, a threat of anything, especially involving kids, you know, that's top priority.
