Medina student arrested for threats on fellow students

A Medina High School student was arrested Sunday night for allegedly threatening to harm schoolmates. 18-yar-old MacKenzie Barrett has been charged with making a terrorist threat after using social media to outline his plans to harm other students at school today.  

School officials sent out a district-wide warning to parents as details emerged of the alleged plans and Barrett's arrest.

Barrett was taken into custody with bail set at $25,000. He is being charged with a felony.
