An arrest warrant states that on November 27, Sanchez-Valera had gone to a Miami hotel to meet a woman.
According to the warrant, he was physically pulled from the driver’s seat of a silver automobile by three individuals dressed in dark clothing, as seen on surveillance footage from the hotel.
According to the warrant, Sanchez-Valera was forced into the back seat of his SUV while the suspects ran away.
“Last night, the District was made aware of a noncredible threat to the school. Law enforcement immediately responded and was able to locate the author of the social media post,” Reardon wrote. “The individual responsible is now facing criminal charges as well as strict punishment as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.”
According to Codd, the girl confessed and claimed the threats were a joke when officers approached her. She resides in Lauderhill, according to the deputies, who did not provide her name.
According to Codd, she was brought to the Juvenile Assessment Centre and is accused of using a two-way communication device without authorisation and writing threats to murder or carry out a mass shooting.
Superintendent of Broward County Public Schools Dr. Howard Hepburn addressed the latest threats at a news conference on Tuesday morning. He emphasised to parents the significance of teaching their kids the gravity of making such threats.
“I’m still shocked that students aren’t getting the message,” Hepburn said. “…. I’m hopeful parents are having these types of discussions with their students and to let them know threats are not a joke, it will change your life’s trajectory.”
Since the beginning of the school year last month, numerous threats have been made against Broward County schools.
According to BSO, a 14-year-old girl was detained on Saturday after allegedly making menacing posts on Instagram directed towards Broward schools. Along with the Lauderhill girl, she was brought to the Juvenile Assessment Centre and was charged with the same offence.
“We take all incidents involving threats of potential violence at schools very seriously because they create a lot of disruption and fear for kids, parents and staff,” Broward State Attorney Harold F. Pryor said in a Monday release. “Our community knows too well that these incidents can be very, very serious and we need to hold any individual accountable for their conduct.”
Authorities reported that an 11-year-old boy was detained last week on suspicion of threatening to blow up Somerset Academy Key Charter Middle/High School in Deerfield Beach.
As a result, the school was evacuated. According to BSO, he was accused of one count of making a false report about a bomb, explosion, or weapon of mass devastation.
Written threats to kill, cause bodily harm, or carry out a mass shooting are felonies in Florida, regardless of whether they are made out loud, in writing, or on social media.
One of the deadliest school shootings in American history occurred in Parkland, Broward County, in 2018 when a former student of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School opened fire, killing 17 students and faculty members and injuring 17.
