On February 28th, 2022 the Benton County Sheriff ¢â‚¬â„¢s Office would investigate a report of a suspicious social media posting. The posting would include a photo of a subject holding a firearm. The photo was taken in the home of a Benton Community High School Student, outside of school hours.

The student has been removed from school grounds as the investigation continues. At this time, the Sheriff ¢â‚¬â„¢s Office has no basis to believe the School or Students were threatened.

The incident will remain under investigation.
