MILAM COUNTY, Texas (KXXV) — Rockdale Independent School District is investigating what is now considered a false threat after authorities determined that the threat report was fake.
Someone anonymously reported a potential threat to the district's QuickTip security tool on Thursday night.
A comprehensive investigation was launched following the district security team and superintendent's prompt action. Law enforcement diligently traced the origin of the threat and discovered that a teacher had made it.
The Milam Sheriff's Department, the Federal Bureau, and the United States Secret Service conducted the investigation starting at 8 p.m. Thursday.
On Friday, Milam County sheriff Mike Clore said they used the IP address used to make the threat, which led them to a Rockdale high school teacher who later admitted to making a false threat.
The teacher has been arrested, and their identity has not yet been released.
