EULESS (1080 KRLD)- Euless police have arrested the man suspected of making a threat towards Oakwood Terrace Elementary School earlier this month.

Police issued a warrant for 34-year-old Jerrekus Pendleton after they say he got into an argument with his girlfriend, and threatened to shoot her kids at Oakwood Terrace Elementary School.

The threat prompted a security response and an early dismissal.

Now Pendleton is behind bars at the Tarrant County Jail on Terroristic Threat charges behind bars.

Police are thanking the Texas Attorney General’s Office Fugitive Squad, saying their search led to his capture.
