Area student charged with allegedly making terroristic threats

By Landan Kuhlmann landan@theleadernews.com

A Heights High School student has been arrested and charged with making threatening posts on the school’s Instagram page earlier this month.

Anthony Garcia, 18, has been charged with terroristic threat, according to Harris County court records. He was out of jail on a $20,000 bond as of Wednesday, according to court records.

Court documents say the school’s principal told HISD police that there had been a threatening post made on the school’s Instagram page on May 17. Several parents and faculty then made the principal aware of another post, made in response to the original post, the next day on the school’s Instagram page, according to court documents.

The second post allegedly included a photo of an assault rifle with the caption “Friday, Where?” and another photo of multiple loaded magazines, according to court documents.

According to court documents, detectives researched the account and later linked it back to a phone number and IP address, and the number was then linked to a CashApp user alleged to be Garcia. The school later allegedly identified Garcia by his school records as a current student, according to court documents.

However, court documents say Garcia has denied posting the photos through Instagram.
