School Resource Officer investigating threat of violence at middle school: On December 20, a school resource officer was notified about a threatening post that was shared on a social media site the previous night in which a student at John Hanson Middle School made a threat of violence toward the school. School administrators and the SRO took immediate action and contacted the student’s parents. In accordance with MD law, due to the age of the student, they cannot be charged; however, the student does face disciplinary consequences from the Charles County Public Schools. Anyone with information is asked to contact PFC Hancock at 301-609-3282 ext. 0499.
