A COLBERT COUNTY TEEN WAS ARRESTED THURSDAY AFTER SENDING THREATENING MESSAGES TO IPHONES AT MUSCLE SHOALS CAREER ACADEMY. MEDIA SOURCES REPORT, JEFFREY CARSON NASH, 18, OF MUSCLE SHOALS, IS ACCUSED OF SENDING AN IMAGE OF TWO PEOPLE ARMED WITH WEAPONS THAT CONTAINED THE MESSAGE “COLUMBINE SCHOOL SHOOTERS ON THE WAY.” THE SCHOOL WAS LOCKED DOWN AROUND 10:15 WHEN A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER REPORTED THE THREAT. NASH ALLEGEDLY USED THE AIRDROP FEATURE ON THE PHONE WHICH SENDS FILES DIRECTLY TO OTHER IPHONES NEARBY. THE MESSAGE WAS ALTERED TO MAKE IT APPEAR IT WAS COMING FROM A MUSCLE SHOALS CITY SCHOOLS FACULTY MEMBER. POLICE WERE ABLE TO TRACE THE MESSAGES BACK TO NASH'S PHONE AND AN ARREST WAS MADE.
