Sentencing is scheduled in December for an Amazonia man who made threatening video threats with a firearm outside a school in Andrew County.
Tyler Thompson, 18, pleaded guilty Friday to a reduced charge of making a terrorist threat, a class-d felony. Two other charges of unlawful use of a firearm were dismissed in a plea agreement. A juvenile was also charged in the case.
As we reported earlier, Sheriff Bryan Atkins said the video showed 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 a news release. The video was then allegedly uploaded to Snap Chat and the internet for others to view.
On Friday, September 16, this video was reported to Andrew County Sheriff officials. 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.
Thompson is scheduled for sentencing December 16 before Circuit Judge Daniel Kellogg.
