Oceana County Undersheriff Ryan Schiller said deputies were called to the school just before classes started Nov. 6 after school administrators reported a threat against the school, its students, and its staff.
After interviewing students and others, deputies arrested Kaleb Lee Anderson. He is an online student who also attends some classes in person. Schiller said the arrest went without incident.
Anderson was arraigned Nov. 9 on a charge of making an intentional threat to commit an act of violence against schools. He is being held in the Oceana County Jail on a $20,000 bond.
Investigators say they don’t believe students were in danger that day. They have not said what prompted the threat.
“Schools across not only Michigan but across the country are taking these threats really seriously as well as law enforcement and the judicial system. And speaking with our prosecuting attorney, this was the decision that was made for that day in the interest of safety,” Schiller said.
