Words scrawled on the bathroom wall left GlenOak High School on a lock-down, which has now been lifted after a student was arrested.

PLAIN TWP. Words scrawled on GlenOak High School bathroom walls left the school on lockdown for nearly two hours Friday morning before a student was arrested.

The student, who was not named, was arrested on charges of felony inducing panic, criminal damaging and aggravated menacing, according to a news release from Sheriff George T. Maier.

Plain Local Schools officials and Stark County Sheriff's deputies said the threat was not an active one, but Superintendent Brent May told parents in a recorded message that he would always "err on the side of caution" to ensure that children were safe.

District Treasurer Kathy Jordan said the lockdown went in place shortly after 9:30 a.m. About 2,000 students were locked in their classrooms at 1801 Schneider St. NE as a precaution, she said, adding that "no one is in danger."

Neither she nor deputies would provide details about the words or the apparent threat. Both cited the ongoing investigation.

A recorded message from May went out to parents and guardians, notifying them that the lockdown was in place. Another message went out shortly before 11:30 a.m., stating that "This was a precaution as we had received threats on walls in a restroom." He said there was no real threat to students, staff or the community.

Further details were not available as the investigation continues.
