Putnam County, FL – Juvenile Arrest
12-Year-Old Arrested for Written Threats at Palatka School
A 12-year-old student at Palatka Junior-Senior High School
was arrested after deputies found a notebook containing written threats to kill classmates,
the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office reported.
Deputies said the notebook, discovered in a girl’s bathroom,
listed students by name and included a statement identifying it as belonging to Isabella Galvin, 12.
When questioned, Galvin allegedly admitted ownership of the notebook.
She was charged with making a written threat to kill, a second-degree felony,
and transferred to a Department of Juvenile Justice facility.
Authorities said her name was released because the charge would be a felony if committed by an adult.
School officials confirmed that parents of all named students were notified.
Deputies assured families that “there is no ongoing threat to the school community.”
