PUNTA GORDA, Fla.—The sheriff of Lee County, Florida, is defending his handling of the recent arrest of a 10-year-old boy for allegedly making online threats to “shoot up” his elementary school.
Sheriff Carmine Marceno then posted information about the arrest on his department’s Facebook page, telling The Epoch Times that he can’t “overlook a threat” no matter how benign it may be—even from children.
