A 15-year-old Marble Falls High School student was arrested on felony charges after students made staff aware of a threat made over social media.

Marble Falls Police would not identify a student who allegedly posted threats about fellow students and a teacher on the internet Thursday night, Jan. 29, but said the student was charged with making a terroristic threat, a third degree felony.

Marble Falls Police Sgt. Tom Dillard said the dispute originated over some school assignments.

“Threats were made over social media... Facebook and Instagram,” Dillard said. “The circumstances of the threat specifically mentioned a group of students and a teacher.”

Dillard said the student was transferred into the custody of the Juvenile Probation Department Thursday night.
