ELEMENTARY STUDENT ARRESTED FOR THREAT
• A sixth-grade boy who allegedly told his teacher he would shoot her after being repeatedly told to return to his seat in a classroom at White Pass Elementary School yesterday morning was arrested and booked into the Lewis County Juvenile Detention Center. A deputy arrived about 11 a.m. following the approximately 9:40 a.m. episode in Randle, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Chief Deputy Bruce Kimsey said the deputy learned the 11-year-old had been crawling around on the floor while the teacher was engaged in classroom instruction and he finally sat back down, but said, “No, I will shoot you, bi*ch.” She directed the child to the principal’s office and said she felt the threat was credible, according to Kimsey. The boy was arrested for a gross misdemeanor related to intimidation of staff or students by threat of force or violence.
