COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – An online message posted by a student Saturday caused Coldwater Community Schools officials and police to launch an investigation, which they deemed not a credible threat.
Superintendent Paul Flynn and Coldwater High School Principal Dr. Steven Hope emailed to parents and staff Saturday night with an update on the incident.
Saturday a few Coldwater High School students contacted school administrators and the Coldwater High School Resource Officer about a SnapChat posting. The SnapChat posting was an image of a weapon and a Cheetos bag with the message “Guys come to school tomorrow I have Cheetos.”
The Coldwater City Police Department was contacted immediately and started to investigate.
The Coldwater City Police Department, working with CHS administrators, were able to identify the student in the posting. The investigation included working with the Branch County Sheriff’s Department and the Bronson Police Department.
According to school officiials, the investigation found that there was no credible threat to any students, staff or others at Coldwater High School.
Flynn and Hope say they appreciate that CHS students brought the post to their attention so that it could be investigated. They say whenever students see something suspicious, it should always be reported.
