2nd student Reginald Wright arrested for making school threats

Douglas County Sheriff’s investigators have arrested another student who allegedly made threats against New Manchester High School.  

Investigators said Reginald Wright, 17, made the following threat under an alias from his Twitter account: ”I’m gonna blow up New Manchester….fear me…g-r-r!

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Maj. Tommy Wheeler said authorities discovered the threat on Sunday and tried to identify Wright by contacting Twitter.   Wheeler said Twitter would not cooperate because they didn’t take the threat seriously.   

Wheeler said investigators ”used other databases to identify Wright and arrested him this moing at school.   He is charged with making terroristic threats and disruption of a public school.

Wright’s arrest comes after another student, 17-year-old Joshua Couch, was arrested last Friday for making terrorist threats toward New Manchester.

Investigators told Channel 2's Erin Coleman that Couch had been formulating a plan to attack his high school using chemicals and had been researching his plan for weeks.

Investigators said Couch told another student and a family member about what he planned to do at the high school and to law enforcement.

When deputies executed two search warrants, they found he'd been doing Inteet searches on hazardous materials, using chemicals like cyanide, according to reports.

Wheeler said investigators recovered evidence, although they wouldn't talk specifics about what they found.

"We did find some evidence that at least one overt act was performed which is why he's charged with criminal attempt," Wheeler said.

Couch is being held at Douglas County jail on char
