Police took a subject into custody early Tuesday morning after threats made last week toward area schools from a “clown” account.

As previously reported, the St. Joseph Police Department and the St. Joseph School District couldn’t establish any credibility to the threats made on social media but still took the situation seriously and increased security at certain schools on Friday.

According to Captain Jeff Wilson with the St. Joseph Police Department, a subject is currently in custody in reference to the social media clown events last week. No other details are being released at this time due to the extensive amount of investigation to be completed.

We will report updates when we learn more.
