A Murray man has been arrested for allegedly making multiple threats against Lyon County Middle School.
Sheriff Brent White says investigators received information Thursday that 30-year old Steven Jester of Murray was making threats against the school.
While evidence was being collected in Calloway County, Jester was located in a home a few blocks away from the school in Eddyville.
Police say he was in possession of several guns, gun components and ammunition.
Jester was taken to an area hospital for a mental health evaluation and was released early Friday morning.
Later in the day, the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office served Jester with a warrant for two counts of second-degree terroristic threatening.
Jester is alleged to have threatened to get a gun and go to Lyon County Middle School to shoot a student and then shoot up the school. He’s also accused of threatening to blow up the school.
