Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Dyersburg Police have one female juvenile in custody in connection with threatening phone calls made to Dyersburg Primary School and Dyersburg Intermediate School on Tuesday morning. The DPD worked swiftly with city school officials to apprehend the alleged offender. The juvenile is charged with two counts of false reporting, a class C felony, which for adults would be punishable by 3-15 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. The DPD would like to discourage any copycats, reminding the public that all threats will be investigated and taken very seriously especially in light of Friday's events in Newtown, Conn.
