Two students were arrested after a potential threat against Wolcott schools was discovered on used tablet Friday, according to Wolcott police.
A father went into the Wolcott Police Department to report that while he was going through his son's tablet, he noticed past threats made by the previous tablet owner. The threats were made during the school walkout on March 14, according to police.
Police said a detective immediately contacted the two students who made the threats, and their parents.
Both students admitted to making the threats, police said. The students said the threats were made only as a joke.
Both students were arrested, police said. They have a date in juvenile court. They will not be in school until the case is settled.
According to police, neither student had access to weapons, and their parents were fully cooperative.
The Wolcott Police Department wants to remind parents and their children that by making threatening comments, even as a joke, they are subject to arrest.
