Stafford Police: Online Threat Involved Ohio School, Not Stafford

STAFFORD TOWNSHIP, NJ - It wasn't us.

That's the message Stafford Township police had for residents on Thursday night after they received "multiple" messages about a Facebook post containing a threat against "SHS," according to the police department's Facebook page.

But police and Southern Regional School District administrators determined the threat involved a high school in Ohio, not Stafford. A subject in Ohio has been arrested for making the threatening posts, police said.

"Stafford Township Police request that parents remind their children not to repost, copy or otherwise spread any threats they discover on social media," the post states. "The best course of action is to immediately notify police so that the threat can be properly investigated."
