Ann Arbor, MI – An 18-year-old charged with making threats toward Haisley Elementary School earlier this month is scheduled to be released on bond on Friday, January 30, according to the Ann Arbor Police Department (AAPD).
According to AAPD, the suspect was arrested on January 16, 2026, following an investigation into alleged online threats of violence against the school. The individual faces two felony counts: one for threat of terrorism and another for intentional threat to commit violence against a school, its employees, or students.
Police said the suspect has been transported to the Washtenaw County Jail and will be arraigned in the 14A-1 District Court, with the bond determined by a judge or magistrate. The case is being led and managed through the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office.
AAPD noted that officers previously conducted a search of the suspect’s residence, where a firearm was recovered. Authorities said the suspect has since been working with community mental health professionals.
Ann Arbor Public Schools stated that additional safety measures remain in place at Haisley Elementary through February 5 to ensure the protection of students and staff.
Further updates will be shared on AAPD’s social media pages and through the department’s Community Updates section on the official website.
