Anne Arundel County police have charged a 14-year-old girl in connection with a threatening tweet made toward Arundel High School. County police said they received a report Monday from school administrators about a suspicious Twitter account. The account was created using similar language found in a racist petition recovered by administrators at the school on Friday, police said. The account was created under the name @KoolkidsKlanKkk and contained a tweet that read, "We're planning to attack tomorrow." Working with Twitter and area communication vendors, detectives were able to identify the person responsible for creating the Twitter account and tweeting the threatening post. Police identified the person as a 14-year-old black girl who attends Arundel High School. Police said they found the student with her parents and that she admitted during an interview with detectives to creating the Twitter account and sending the threatening tweet. The girl was charged on a juvenile citation with disruption of school activities and released to the custody of her parents. Anne Arundel County Public Schools Superintendent George Arlotto released a statement, saying, "I want to thank Police Chief Tim Altomare, State’s Attorney Wes Adams, County Executive Steve Schuh, and their staffs for their thorough and expeditious work to identify a suspect in the online post that threatened violence at Arundel High School this week. The anonymity of the internet provides a murky and complex disguise for many who want to threaten the safety and security of our communities. Our partners in the Police Department and county government peeled back that disguise quickly in this case, in the process reassuring parents, students, and staff that our schools are safe places in which to educate our children."
