Juvenile arrested during school for making threat of school shooting.
Plainfield, IL – On Wednesday, February 28, 2018, at approximately 1:00 p.m., the Plainfield Police
Department was notified by Plainfield Central High School staff of a potential school shooting threat.
Plainfield Police and PCHS Staff conducted an investigation in reference to the threat that led to a
juvenile admitting to making statements.
Class 4 Felony charges for Disorderly Conduct were approved by the Will County State’s Attorney’s
Office and the juvenile was transferred to the River Valley Juvenile Justice Center to await a custody
hearing. The juvenile was not in possession of any weapons at the time of his arrest.
We want students, parents and the community to understand we take all alleged threats seriously
and investigate them to the fullest extent. After so many tragic incidents across our country, we
cannot afford to take these matters lightly or fail to hold people accountable for their actions. We will
continue to seek criminal charges for any confirmed threat to commit acts of mass violence.
