The student was jailed on one count of terroristic threatening, the Faulkner County sheriff's office said in a news release. Investigators concluded that the youth did not have an immediate ability to carry out the threat, the release said.

Sheriff's deputies were tipped about an Instagram post in which the student purportedly made the threat. Investigators and the Greenbrier Police Department were immediately notified, and the boy was found at home.
