KENT CITY, Mich. — The Kent County Sheriff's Office is seeking legal action in connection with a fake threat that shut down Kent City Schools on Friday.
The department has authorized a juvenile petition against the 12-year-old involved for an intentional threat to commit an act of violence.
This means deputies are requesting that a juvenile court decide if the boy should be charged.
The 12-year-old is accused of sending a video to a friend about not going to school because of a shooting.
Deputies say they later found on the 12-year-old did not make the video and it was sent as a joke.
