GUN THREAT DISRUPTS FAYETTE COUNTY SCHOOLS

(Connersville, IN)--A social media threat Thursday forced the cancellation of some events for the Fayette County School District.  Within an hour of the threat being made, investigators had arrested 63-year-old Dena Scripture.  Scripture had posted a picture of a handgun with the words “going to the closest school.  Be ready.”  A search warrant was then executed at her Connersville home.  Drugs and drug paraphernalia was located along with 47-year-old Ralph Hendrix.  Hendrix initially refused to come out but eventually surrendered.  Scripture is charged with making a terroristic threat.
