The sheriff’s office had been notified Friday of an anonymous message posted to an undisclosed social-media website in which gun violence was threatened for Monday at Jefferson Middle School, 5102 N. Stony Creek Rd. Investigators received further information Monday linking the message to the girl, according to a sheriff’s office statement, and she was arrested and taken to the Monroe County Youth Center.
