Police Investigate Threats Against Midstate Schools

ASHLAND CITY, TN — Threats against two Middle Tennessee school systems are under investigation with an 18-year-old behind bars for one of them.

Lebanon Police arrested Cody Tomlin, 18, Sunday after he allegedly posted a video to Snapchat threatening to kill two Lebanon High School students. In the video, police say Tomlin names the students and holds up rounds of ammunition indicating which bullets are for which target. Rifles can also be seen in the video, according to investigators.

Detectives said Tomlin admitted to making the video, but that it was made in jest and he had no intention of following through. Tomlin is jailed on two counts of harassment.

LPD said there is no on-going threat.

In Ashland City, Cheatham County schools were placed in a so-called "soft lockdown" Friday after a Craigslist post suggested that someone should shoot up a church in Montgomery County and a school in Ashland City.

That post offered no information as to why those locations should be targeted. That threat is under investigation by local, state and federal law enforcement.
