A second Lambert High Student is arrested for making terroristic threats
News December 17, 2021
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. – For the second time this month, Forsyth County deputies arrested a student at Lambert High School who allegedly threatened to cause harm students at the school.
The unidentified 15-year-old male student allegedly attempted to solicit a gun from another student to carry out the assault. Based on the evidence obtained during an investigation by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, a juvenile arrest warrant was taken against the boy who was transported to the Regional Youth Detention Center in Gainesville.
Sheriff Ron Freeman said the actions of a few students prevented a potential tragedy. “These students had the courage to come forward and report this danger to the staff at the school exemplifying See Something, Say Something,” said Freeman. “We will continue to exhaustively investigate all threats and those making them will be arrested. Our 43 dedicated School Resource Deputies work daily alongside our school partners to keep Forsyth County Schools Safe. Kudos to the Lambert High School staff for their quick action and assistance in this investigation. No other students were involved in this threat and the danger from it has been eliminated.”
School threats have increased nationwide in the past few months and Forsyth County is not alone in this troubling time. This serves as an excellent opportunity for parents to speak with their children on the importance of See Something, Say Something and remind them of our school safety hotline 770-888-3466. Students can call or text the hotline and remain anonymous.
