Teen Accused of High School Internet Threat Arraigned
 |
Zachary Barbeau, 19, of Commercial Street appeared before Judge Paul Vrabel.
Barbeau had not-guilty pleas entered on his behalf on single counts of threatening the use of a deadly weapon and causing disruption of a school, threat to commit murder and disruption of a public assembly.
Vrabel released him on personal recognizance; he will be back in court on Dec. 13 for a bind-over hearing.
Barbeau was arrested on Thursday after police tracked the Internet service provider address connected to the Facebook threat. The alleged threat was discovered on Thursday, Nov. 10, and Barbeau, a 2008 Drury graduate, was arrested later that day.
The investigation was conducted by state police detectives assigned to the district attorney's office, state troopers assigned to the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and members of the North Adams and Adams Police departments.
