Pasco County, FL – A 13-year-old student from Hudson Academy was arrested today after allegedly making written threats to kill, according to the Pasco Sheriff’s Office. Deputies emphasized that there is no current public safety threat to the Hudson, FL campus, but warned families that all threats—hoax or otherwise—carry serious consequences.
According to the Pasco Sheriff’s Office, deputies took the student into custody after reviewing the alleged written threats. The agency said threats of violence made by students continue to be treated with the highest level of urgency, particularly those involving schools.
The sheriff’s office reminded parents, guardians and students that making threats can lead to significant legal ramifications, including arrest, regardless of intent. “Threats of violence, even hoax threats, are taken extremely seriously,” the agency stated.
Hudson Academy is located in Pasco County, just north of the Tampa Bay metro area. While deputies said there is no danger to students or staff, they again urged families across the county to speak with their children about the potential impact of these decisions.
School threats have continued to generate heightened concern throughout Florida school districts, prompting law enforcement agencies to reiterate zero-tolerance policies. Officials say parents play a key role in prevention through early conversations with their children about appropriate communication, online behavior, and reporting concerns.
Residents in Hudson or the surrounding Pasco County area who have information about potential school threats are encouraged to contact the Pasco Sheriff’s Office.
