Euless Police Arrest Man Accused of Threatening Elementary School

EULESS (WBAP/KLIF News ) – Euless police arrested the man accused of making a terroristic threat against an elementary school earlier this month.

34-year-old Jerrekus Pendleton is being held in the Tarrant County Jail on a $15,000 dollar bond.

Euless ISD put Oakwood Terrace Elementary on lockdown and increased security on October 5.

The move came after Pendleton allegedly threatened to go to the school with other armed men to kill his ex-girlfriend’s children over money he was owed.

Investigators said the night before the threats were made, Pendleton allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend and Fort Worth police responded.
