Instagram Threat Lands Pebblebrook Student Behind Bars
Princeton Keith Futch wrote "that his school would be on the news Monday because he was going to bring a gun to school ... to shoot someone."
A Pebblebrook High student from Austell is in the Cobb County jail tonight, accused of posting threats on Instagram.
Between 4:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. March 8, authorities allege in a criminal warrant that Princeton Keith Futch "wrote on a social media site that his school would be on the news Monday because he was going to bring a gun to school ... to shoot someone."
A number of Pebblebrook students saw the threat, which caused "administrators to alter the normal operating procedures of Pebblebrook High School to ensure the safety of students and staff" on March 11, according to a warrant.
