Aberdeen High School Student Arrested For Threatening Text Message

ABERDEEN, Md. (WJZ)— A threatening text message has put an Aberdeen High School student  behind bars.

When the accused student arrived to school Wednesday morning, a school resource officer met the student at the door. Police then made the arrest.

There is no word from officials on what was said in that message, sent to a fellow student.

Harford County Public Schools spokeswoman Teri Kranefeld says that the principal was made aware of a text message and sent a recorded phone message to parents informing them about the incident.
