Student arrested for threat The Hermiston Police Department arrested a mid- dle school student Tuesday for first degree disorderly conduct after a classmate overheard him saying he was going to shoot some- body in the head. According to Lt. Randy Studebaker, the uniden- tified male student was overhead at Armand Lar- ive Middle School on Fri- day making a generalized threat of violence, though he didn’t identify a tar- get. A student reported the threat to staff, who passed it on to Hermiston Police. The suspected student and his family cooperated with the investigation and allowed police to search their property, and officers determined there was no evidence he was planning an act of violence. They suspect he made the threat for attention. The student was lodged in the Umatilla County Juvenile Department. WE HEAR YOU!
