Crime Stoppers Seek Information on Utica Threats

The Licking County Crime Stoppers are offering up to a $1,000 reward for anyone with information leading to an arrest in threats made regarding homecoming festivities in the North Fork Local School District.

The Licking County Sheriff’s Office reports on Monday, September 14th, the school district received letters threatening violence during homecoming activities because of interracial dating at Utica High School.

At this time, investigators do not believe these threats are connected to the recent bomb threat at Newton Elementary.

Anyone with information on this crime is urged to call the Licking County Crime Stoppers at 740-349-6888 or 1-888-488-9058. A special coding system protects the identity of the caller but allows for the reward to be issued at a later time.
