On 04/02/20 at approximately 0300 hours, Officers with the Santa Maria Police Department were made aware of a threat posted on social media towards Allan Hancock College. Officers and Detectives immediately began an investigation and determined the threat was made about two weeks ago.
Detectives were able to identify the suspect as a 13 year old male juvenile who is a Santa Maria resident. Contact was made with the juvenile who admitted to posting the threat to social media. The threat to student/staff safety was determined to be unsubstantiated.
At this time, there is no threat to student/staff safety.
Due to the suspect’s age, the name or other identifying information will not be released.
Sorry to have offended you and glad you feel that’s not the case with those you know.
Teen-aged males, unless too exhausted to move, are loose cannons. It’s in our hormonal wiring. That’s why all those coming-of-age rituals, probably Neolithic to now. Parents just hope their boys don’t self-destruct and their girls don’t get pregnant before their brains are developed enough to think ahead and judge consequences. That’s why we remind them, ground them and nag them!
