ODESSA, Texas — An Odessa teen is facing charges after ECISD says she made a threat the week of Oct. 17.
According to a district spokesperson, a freshman at OHS said on a bus that she would bring a gun to school the following week.
When questioned the girl admitted saying that but told officers it was a joke.
However ECISD says threats of violence will not be taken as a joke and will result in consequences.
The girl was arrested and charged with threat or exhibition of a weapon on school grounds or bus. She will also be facing school discipline.
This arrest is the latest in a string of threats around the Permian Basin, with several students being arrested within ECISD.
