The student was arrested for threatening, intimidating and interfering with or disrupting an educational institution, and booked into the Maricopa County Juvenile Detention Center, according to a QCPD statement.
 

"We will not tolerate any actions that compromise the safety of our schools and will continue to hold individuals accountable for such behavior," stated Queen Creek Police Chief Randy Brice.
