On Friday, at approximately 10:00 a.m., Coronado K-8 school administration contacted the Pima County Sheriff’s School Resource Officer Unit about a threat written on a bathroom wall. It was determined to place the school on lockdown because the threat was made towards the school.
Deputies searched the school and found no immediate threat. Detectives responded to assist School Resource Officers with the investigation. Through their investigation they learned that the same student was responsible for a similar threat on August 25, 2016, that did not warrant a lockdown. Both threats were written to solicit a response from school administration and law enforcement.
A 13-year-old student was found to be responsible and arrested for hoax and interference/disruption of an educational institution, both felony charges. At no time were students or staff in danger.
