School security was stepped up while officers looked into the threat, and investigators eventually identified a suspect.
Authorities say a man wanted in connection with a threatening call aimed at local elementary schools earlier this week was arrested in Chautauqua County, New York.
The Brattleboro Police Department said it began investigating the call on the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 10 after receiving a report that an individual had threatened violence against schools in the area. During the response, police worked with the Vermont State Police and officials from the Windham Southeast Supervisory Union as the investigation unfolded. School security was stepped up while officers looked into the threat, and investigators eventually identified a suspect.
Police later determined the suspect had traveled to New York. According to Brattleboro Police, Jacob D. Cunningham of Colchester, Connecticut was taken into custody by the Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office and faces a charge of making a terroristic threat. He was held on $500,000 bond.
The case is still being reviewed by the Brattleboro Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division.
