The Banks County Sheriff’s Office says there is “no valid threat” to any of the schools in the county after investigating a disturbing social media post.
On May 17, the sheriff’s office said it received notification of a post that “mentioned a school and contained concerning language.”
“The Banks County Sheriff’s Office immediately initiated an investigation. Upon review of the post’s content, the post did not directly threaten or specify any school,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
The release states that investigators interviewed the individual who made the post and confirmed that none of the schools in Banks County were threatened. Sheriff’s office spokesperson Austin Bond says the investigation is now closed.
