There are extra police at Naugatuck High School and Vinal Technical High School in Middletown after two separate and unrelated threats.
State police are at Vinal Technical High School in Middletown Tuesday as a precaution after arresting a student Monday night who is accused of making threats against the school.
State police said they responded to the Middletown Police Department at 7:16 p.m. Monday to investigate threats to the high school after a parent reported a child received three Snapchat messages that implied violence against the school.
Investigators developed a person of interest and responded to the student’s home, where the student admitted to sending the messages, according to state police.
The juvenile was arrested and charged with second-degree breach of peace and second-degree threatening.
The student is scheduled to appear in juvenile court in Middletown on Wednesday.
