A Lyon County teenager is facing a criminal charge after they allegedly encouraged another minor to commit suicide and threatened to kill them if they didn’t do it.
The alleged conversation from Thursday morning was overheard by a school staff member, according to Lyon County Sheriff Brent White, who says that person alerted the school resource officer.
An investigation led to the 13-year old suspect being detained, charged with third-degree terroristic threatening and then released into the custody of a parent pending a court appearance.
