THREAT CHARGE DROPPED AGAINST ADULT FEMALE AFTER JUVENILE CONFESSES

(Connersville, IN)--Last week, 63-year-old Dena Scripture was arrested for making a terroristic threat after a photo of a gun and the words “be ready” were posted on her Facebook page.  Now, after further investigation, Connersville police say that Scripture did not make the threat and that it was instead made by a 14-year-old boy who had accessed Scripture’s Facebook account.  That boy has now been charged.  The threat charge against Scripture has been dropped, but a drug charge that resulted from a search of her home will stick.
