MURRAY – A local resident has been charged with making a terrorist threat against the Palmyra-Macedon High School in Wayne County, the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office reported.
Douglas Adams, 18, lives at Countyline Mobile Home Park in Murray. He allegedly posted a photograph of the school with a caption showing a gun pointed at a school with a threatening message.
The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office was contacted at 8 p.m. on Monday by the New York State Intelligence Center about a reported threat made toward Palmyra-Macedon High School on social media, Sheriff Chris Bourke said today.
The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office immediately coordinated with the Palmyra Police Department, NYSIC, and the National Threat Operations Center, he said.
Orleans County deputies responded to a residence on Jay Drive in the Town of Murray. The investigation determined that there is no known credible or ongoing threat to the public or to Palmyra-Macedon High School at this time, Sheriff Bourke said.
The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office turned over evidence to the Palmyra Police Department which led to the arrest of Adams on April 1 by the Palmyra Police.
Adams was charged with Making a Terroristic Threat (Class D Felony) and Aggravated Threat of Mass Harm (Class A Misdemeanor).
This incident was investigated by Lieutenant Adam Hazel, Deputy Jeff Cole and Investigator Brian Marsceill.
“The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office reminds the public that all threats of violence are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly, regardless of intent,” Bourke said. “Anyone who becomes aware of potential threats is encouraged to report them immediately to law enforcement.”
