Student facing charges for bringing BB gun to Calvert High

UPDATE

Earlier this morning, as students arrived to school, deputies that were working an assignment at Calvert High School learned that a social media threat was made sometime the night prior. 

The deputies worked with the school administration to investigate the threat.  The student was quickly located and isolated.  A search of the backpack in his possession revealed a realistic looking BB gun.  This juvenile student was immediately removed from the school and is pending several charges. 

Sheriff Mike Evans will continue to staff deputies at the schools until further notice.  Students and parents are encouraged to continue to report anything suspicious.
