Lake Charles, LA –
Earlier today, at approximately 2:00 p.m. Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to Leblanc Middle School in Sulphur, in reference to a student found with a “hit list”.
During the investigation the 12 year old girl admitted to making the list. She was arrested and booked into the Juvenile Detention Center and charged with terrorizing-menacing. “We have zero tolerance when it comes to threatening behavior towards or at our schools,” stated Sheriff Stitch Guillory. “Whether it is said in anger or as a joke, all threats will be taken seriously and investigated fully and an arrest will be made when warranted.”
CPSO Lt. Kara Adams is the lead investigator on this case. The Calcasieu Parish School Board assisted in the investigation.
An arrest is an indication that probable cause exists to believe the subject was involved in the offense alleged. A person is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
