NAVASOTA, Texas — Two juveniles have been arrested by the Navasota Police Department for social media threats that resulted in the arrest of an individual and investigation that happened Monday evening.
That day, the district became aware of the threat that was made towards another student and began an investigation alongside Navasota Police Department School Resource Officers.
