‘Harsh consequences': Petaluma man arrested for continued school threats over Pride flags
(KRON) — Police say a 45-year-old man is under arrest for allegedly making 'criminal threats' in several messages against a Petaluma City Schools District official in which he demanded the removal of Pride flags — saying 'harsh consequences' would follow if they weren't taken down. 2 teens arrested for throwing fireworks into crowd, yelling slurs at Redwood City Pride event The Petaluma Police Department says its officers took Josh Garzoli into custody just after 12:30 p.m. on Thursday after a series of reported confrontations between the suspect and the District Administrator. Police released the following timeline of events: 'On May 30, 2025, Garzoli left a concerning voicemail with Petaluma City Schools Officials demanding the removal of the Pride flag from school grounds. Garzoli reportedly told a School District Official there would be 'harsh consequences' if the flag was not removed. On June 2, 2025, Garzoli arrived at the Petaluma Schools Administration Office. He was reported as being agitated and angry, demanding the removal of Pride flags, but left without further incident. On the morning of June 5, 2025, at approximately 9:18 AM, the Petaluma Police Department responded to a report of criminal threats made toward a Petaluma City Schools District Official.' Investigators say that Garzoli then sent an 'alarming email' to the official in which he demanded the removal of the flags before the end of the school day on Thursday and said 'he would have the District Administrator 'executed' if the flags remained. 'The threat was considered specific, time sensitive, and caused safety concerns for school officials,' confirmed investigators. Petaluma PD says Garzoli was booked into custody on suspicion of violating 'California Penal Code 422 – Criminal Threats,' which is a felony offense. Police say the suspect's bail was increased to $750,000. 'We are working closely with Petaluma City Schools to ensure additional security measures are in place and that district personnel feel supported and protected,' say police. 'The safety of our school staff, students, and broader community is our highest priority.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

‘We can turn it around,' Pine Bluff officials say that juvenile violence on the decline
PINE BLUFF, Ark. – Juvenile violence is on the decline in Pine Bluff. The Pine Bluff School District (PBSD) shared on Friday that office discipline referrals have nearly halved over the past two school years. Pine Bluff puts park curfews into effect, enforcing zero-tolerance policy Officials said that if one thing could be pointed to as a cause, it would be the Group Violence Intervention (GVI) movement. Jennifer Barbaree became PBSD superintendent shortly before the implementation of GVI in area schools. 'When GVI first started, we had lost nine students to murder in that school year,' Barbaree said. In July, it will be a year and a half since a juvenile homicide in Pine Bluff. PBSD office discipline referrals decreased by 30% this past school year. In elementary schools, discipline referrals have dropped by an average of 50%, with 34th Elementary seeing the most significant decline at 75%. Arkansas Stop the Violence speaks on recent string of homicides in Little Rock On Friday, during the last day of school, GVI hosted a community celebration in the Pine Bluff Convention Center. PBSD Assistant Superintendant Anthony Carlock said students were able to get excused absences for attending. 'This is a celebration, so when we think about, we are not counting youth homicides; we're celebrating how much life we still have in Pine Bluff, and how much life we can impact for our future,' Carlock said. Carlock said GVI helps students through mentoring, outreach, connecting people with resources, and rewarding those who invest in safety throughout the year. Director Kevin Crumpton explained that it also trains police and juvenile justice officers for their role. 'You got to be able to work together to make change in your particular city,' Crumpton said. Jasmine Jones has two children in the district. She just learned of GVI Friday, but she's noticed the effect it's had much sooner. 'It makes me feel better about my kids growing up in this community like we can turn it around,' Jones said. Jefferson County budget vetoed by judge, county remains without 2025 budget A state grant helped fund the formation of GVI. PBSD officials stated a program like this has the potential to improve communities across the state. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Former superintendent indicted in AI child porn case involving teacher: Records
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Former Corinth School District superintendent Edward Childress has been indicted in connection with an investigation into an ex-middle school teacher accused of creating AI porn using students' images. The arrest of former Corinth teacher Wilson Frederick Jones led to the termination of Childress' contract as superintendent of Corinth schools. He has now been indicted on state and federal charges in connection with the investigation. WREG has followed this story since Jones' arrest. Jones is accused of using Artificial Intelligence to morph pictures of several students in his class, turning them into explicit material. Parent concerned over ex-MS teacher accused of AI porn videos of students According to reports, the content was created on his school-issued computer in November 2024. Jones's activity triggered a program with the school system that scans for illicit content being downloaded or shared. Court documents show that Childress knew about the explicit material in November, but did not notify the Mississippi Department of Education until January. The evidence was seized on Mar. 3, and Jones was arrested on Mar. 12. The indictment states that Childress concealed the acts by permitting Jones to resign his position as a teacher at the Corinth School District and misrepresented the reason behind Jones's resignation to the school board. None of the students involved, between the ages of 14 and 16, were aware of what Jones was allegedly doing. Parents expressed their concerns following the arrest, knowing that Superintendent Childress was aware of the illicit content, but did not report it until months later. Parent concerned over ex-MS teacher accused of AI porn videos of students 'We need to know. We need to know what's going on at our schools and with our children, and not only our own but anybody else's children,' said Jasmica Wade. Childress was subsequently fired. Jones and Childress have each been indicted on three counts. Jones is also facing charges of production and possession of a morphed image of child pornography at the state level.
