An Amazonia man is being held without bail accused of making threatening videos with a firearm outside an Andrew County school.

In a news release, Sheriff Bryan Atkins says Tyler Thompson, 18, and an unnamed juvenile, were observed making videos with a cell phone in front of North Andrew School near Rosendale on September 15.

The video shows the two suspects with a semi automatic pistol while sitting in their vehicle. During the videotaping, comments of threats toward the school were made to include shooting up this school, according to the news release. The video was then allegedly uploaded to Snap Chat and the internet for others to view.

On early morning, Friday, September 16, this video was reported to Andrew County Sheriff officials. Andrew County Sheriff and deputies responded to the North Andrew School immediately. Upon notifying school officials, it was found that neither of the suspects were students of the school. The school area was checked and found to be safe and secure.

The juvenile suspect was identified by Sheriff’s officials. Atkins says both Mr. Thompson and the juvenile were found at a residence in Fillmore, Mo. where they were taken into custody at 12:26 pm. The weapon involved was found in the same vehicle that was at the school the day before when the video was made.

Mr. Thompson was held for investigation and then charged. He is currently in Andrew County Jail being held without bond. The juvenile suspect was taken to Juvenile Detention and turned over to juvenile authorities for processing and possible charges.
