On Friday, September 9, 2022, the Lockhart Police Department arrested a 12-year-old female in relation to a threatening note found in a girls’ restroom at Lockhart Junior High School. Investigators say she confessed to the crime and is now facing terroristic threat charges—a felony. Due to the nature of the threat, Lockhart Police and Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office increased police presence at all Lockhart ISD campuses earlier this week.
Due to the suspect being under the age of 18, her name will not be released to the public.
