Student teacher arrested for private Snapchat message

A 22-year-old student teacher at John L. Hensey Elementary sent a private Snapchat message joking about shooting a student after her laptop was closed, and Snapchat’s AI automatically flagged the content as an imminent threat, notifying the FBI. Within an hour, deputies arrived, arrested her for disorderly conduct, released her on $0 bond, and terminated her placement, despite no formal charges or reported threat.
