Police Determine Bristol Clown Threat Originated in Florida

Bristol police will increase their presence at Bristol Central High School on Thursday as they investigate a clown-related threat against the school.

While police said they have determined that the treat originated in Florida, they still plan to be at the school to ensure safety.

The threat did not make a specific threat of violence against students, but did mention Bristol Central by name, according to police.

With assistance of Florida law enforcement, Bristol Police is no longer considering the message as a threat and said the local part of the investigation is closed. 

An image of the post on Instagram said "I am coming for you."

Authorities in Florida will determine whether to take action against the juvenile.
