Putnam County Sheriff's Department responds to threat

Putnam County Sheriff Jarrod Baugh confirmed to GIANT fm WREB that his department investigated a "nonspecific" threat in Putnam County.

"Many agencies came together last evening to investigate a nonspecific threat in Putnam County. No specific location was mentioned, so with an abundance of caution, law enforcement worked close to school facilities. We have resolved the concern," Baugh told GIANT fm. 

A letter, however, was sent out to Cloverdale parents from all building principals. The letter states the Sheriff's Department notified Cloverdale Community Schools of a general threat of violence made against their schools. The letter further states the investigation has been wrapped up and there is no ongoing threat. 

"Today, we have increased the presence of School Resource Offficers on our school campus out of an abundance of caution. We continue to maintain safe buildings by restricting the entry of visitors and escorting visitors who need entry to the buildings. We will continue to be vigilant in all.aspects of our school safety," the letter states.

Vigo County also dealt with threats to schools. 

The Vigo County Sheriff's Department announced Wednesday the arrest of a female juvenile in reference to threats made to Otter Creek Middle School. 

The female was charged with Felony Intimidation and Misdemeanor Harassment, in reference to threats being made.
