ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A 14 -year-old girl has been arrested on a felony charge after
allegedly writing a threatening message on a bathroom wall at her middle school. Nearly half the
students stayed home on Friday after the message appeared and a picture of a boy with a gun
circulated on social media.
A St. Petersburg police statement says the 8th -grader was arrested Monday thanks to numerous
tips and the co-operation of her parents.
Police investigating the threatening message in the bathroom Wednesday also learned of a
picture being circulated on Snapchat on Thursday, showing a boy holding a weapon and
threatening violence at Tyrone Middle School.
The girl faces a second-degree felony charge of making a false report concerning the use of a
firearm in a violent manner.
