Teen Arrested for Columbine-Virginia Tech Threat Left in Crystal Lake Central High School Bathroom

The Northwest Herald is reporting that 18-year old Matthew D. Hayes of 203 McHenry Avenue, Crystal Lake, has been arrested for criminal defacement of property and two count of disorderly conduct regarding the threat found last month in a school bathroom.”

Crystal Lake Police Department David Linder confirmed the information for me.

The McHenry Avenue address is within walking distance to my alma mater.

Apparently having hundreds of students not show up for school because of a threat about possible violence merits some time in court.

I can’t wait to find out how they traced the threat to the alleged offender.
