Mercedes police arrested a 17-year-old male early Thursday morning after he reportedly made a terroristic threat.
According to a news release, the teenager was arrested at his home at 2:08 a.m. Wednesday.
“He was transported to the Weslaco Police Department jail where he is awaiting to be arraigned,” the release said. “This investigation is still ongoing. We would like to thank the Weslaco Police Department for their assistance.”
The news comes hours after Donna ISD announced that all campuses will be shut down Thursday and Friday after a credible threat was reported to police.
Police are asking the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement agencies.
