Police have arrested a Shelton High School student who is accused of posting a threatening video online that showed a "facsimile firearm." Police said video shows the teen say he was willing to kill someone is someone "messes with him."
Shelton police received several reports Wednesday about the video, which a male said that if someone messes with him tomorrow and he goes to school, he is willing to kill someone.
Police quickly identified a suspect and said they seized a weapon that matched the one in the video.
Eliezer Reyes, an 18-year-old Shelton High School student, was arrested and charged with threatening in the first degree, breach of peace in the second degree, and brandishing a facsimile firearm.
Court documents say the video was sent in a fantasy football chat.
When police spoke with Reyes, he said he was upset about something that happened to a family member in North Carolina and posted the video on Snapchat.
He is being held on a $50,000 bond and is scheduled to appear at Derby Superior Court today.
