Oregon MySpace Threat
April 14, 2006Teen Arrested After MySpace Threat To Math Teacher:
Another day, another MySpace threat. This time in Oregon…
A 17-year-old Alsea High School student has been arrested after he posted a message on the Internet threatening a math teacher.
Benton County Sheriff’s Office officials say the student is a senior.
Deputies say the teen made the threat, including the teacher’s name, on MySpace. A sheriff’s office report says the teacher feared for his life after learning of the posting.
The boy was initially taken to the Linn-Benton Juvenile Facility but was later released.
Alsea school district officials have unofficially suspended him pending a psychological evaluation.
Undersheriff Diana Simpson says it’s still unclear what motivated the student to post the message on the Internet.
The threat must have been pretty bad if the teacher “feared for his life”. Then again it how bad could it have been if the suspect was released? Maybe the teacher is overdramatic. Either way threatening someone is still against the law.
