The arrest of 18-year-old Kaveon Jah’quez from Georgia in connection with bomb threats directed at specific students of Ormond Beach Middle School highlights the seriousness of such threats, even when they do not pose immediate danger. The Ormond Beach Police Department OBPD initiated the investigation on September 7, 2024, and worked closely with Jah’quez and other parties, ultimately leading to his surrender after an active felony warrant was issued. OBPD emphasized that no credible threat existed to the school or its students during the ordeal.
Chief Jesse Godfrey of the Ormond Beach Police Department underlined the role of parental involvement in ensuring children’s online safety, urging community members to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
