Good morning parents and guardians, I am sending this message to keep you informed regarding extra police presence at Ripley middle school this morning upon student arrival. Investigators were looking into information they received about alleged comments made on a particular school bus. Investigators were able to quickly pull all students from that bus and determine the information they received about an alleged threat was false. Through video and audio evidence It was quickly concluded that the information provided was not true. That same investigation also occurred at Ripley High School with the findings being the same. Again, extra officers were on scene just as a precaution until this situation could be investigated and resolved. This investigation is evidence of a strong partnership between law enforcement and local school officials in their efforts to keep students and employees safe.

Parents & Guardians,
This message is a follow up to communications that went out earlier today on the school district’s social media. Earlier today, an anonymous 911 call came in to Lauderdale County dispatch indicating there was a threat to one of the Ripley schools. There was no specific information on where the threat was targeted, but all school SROs went on high alert. As a result, all county schools went on a temporary lock down while law enforcement investigated the source of the call. Additional officers were quickly sent to each school throughout the county as a precaution and the Sheriff’s Department worked quickly to get a location on the source of the call. A juvenile, not associated with Lauderdale Co. Schools, was quickly located and determined to be the source of the hoax and was charged accordingly. The lockdown was lifted after only a few minutes and schools resumed normal operations. We are thankful that this issue was resolved quickly and efficiently through the work of the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department and other local agencies.
