South Carolina: An 18-year-old from Anderson County has been arrested and charged following a series of threats made against a group of Pendleton High School students on Snapchat. The suspect, Cameron Lamar Suttle, is facing five counts of unlawful communication after he allegedly sent threatening messages and photos posing with firearms.
Snapchat Threats Target Specific Students
The Anderson County Sheriff’s Office began investigating Suttle on September 8th after receiving reports of disturbing messages on social media. Suttle reportedly sent threats to five specific students, ranging in age from 15 to 17. He did not target the school as a whole but directed his threats at individual students. According to deputies, Suttle used Snapchat to post photos of himself holding various firearms and pairing them with alarming messages. The explicit nature of the posts caused concern among students and their families, leading them to alert authorities.
Former Pendleton High School Student Behind the Threats
Officials revealed that Cameron Suttle is a former student of Pendleton High School, but he is not currently enrolled. It remains unclear what prompted Suttle to target these particular students, but deputies are continuing to investigate the encounters that led up to the threats. Suttle’s actions have raised concerns about the role of social media in perpetuating violence and how platforms like Snapchat are being used to target individuals.
Legal Action and Bond
Suttle has been charged with five counts of unlawful communication, a charge that refers to threats made through electronic means, such as social media. The Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Suttle had received a bond for all warrants and is expected to face further legal proceedings. Authorities emphasize that while no broader threat to the school was identified, the targeted nature of the threats was sufficient to take swift action to ensure the safety of the students involved.
Local officials are using the incident as a reminder to parents and students to be vigilant about online activity and to report any threats or concerning behavior to authorities.
