“If you make a threat against a school, you will be found, you will be arrested and you will be held accountable,” Garza said. According to Garza, he has more than 30 cases pending now, with just two involving adults.

Cornelius police may have identified the person responsible for threatening phone calls made to Bailey Middle School and William A. Hough High School. The department released a video on Thursday, Sept.
