Beauregard Parish authorities announced Tuesday that one person has been arrested for making threats this week on social media against South Beauregard High School.

Sheriff Mark Herford said the individual, who he declined to identify, has been charged with one count of terroristic threats.

The threat, made from an unidentified TikTok account, alluded to acts of violence at the school on Monday and Tuesday, and made several parents choose to keep their students home on those days.

In response to the threat, an increased law enforcement presence was visible on Monday, and Herford said the extra security could possibly remain for the rest of the week in an effort to help students and staff feel secure at school.

Despite the arrest, Herford told the American Press the investigation into the threat remains ongoing.

“We take all threats of this kind incredibly serious, and we are very serious about the safety of the kids and the faculty and staff in all of our schools,” Herford said.
