Rebekah Jones' 13-year-old son arrested in Navarre, Florida for 'digital threats of terrorism'

Embattled former state of Florida employee Rebekah Jones announced on Twitter Wednesday night that her 13-year-old son had been arrested in Santa Rosa County for “digital threats of terrorism.”

According to the tweets, Jones said an officer told her a warrant had been issued for her son’s arrest after authorities received an anonymous report about messages her son shared in a Snapchat group.

Jones says that someone claiming to be a cousin of one of her son’s classmates joined their private Snapchat group. She says the person recorded the conversations and reported them to the police after her son shared a popular internet meme criticizing police.

The boy reposted a meme making fun of security officials for waiting until the shooting stops before entering schools under attack.

This was the DeSatan goons waiting for something to get reported to them about the mom, a whistleblower. Pure retaliation to 🖕 with her.

An incident report released Monday afternoon by the Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office allege that the 13-year-old made repeated threats to shoot up Holley Navarre Middle School and to stab students who angered him.

Investigators interviewed multiple students who spoke with the teenager, as well as those who saw messages he posted on social media. In the messages to his friends, the teenager made the following statements, among others:

The teenager told one of his friends that he planned to shoot up the school the Thursday before Spring Break but there were too many things going on so he postponed it until March 31.

The students reported the claims to the school prior to that date and the investigation was launched.

The teenager was homeschooled at the time of the alleged threats.


The story I read yesterday didn't have this info, only the image of the lazy cop.

According to Jones, a threat assessment was completed in which both local police and the school signed off on the messages not being a threat. Two weeks later, Jones says her son was then arrested. When Jones asked the officers who ordered the arrest, she says an officer told her “it was the state.”

Well, a shero. I so admire her and gave money to her campaign last year. I cannot understand how anybody could have voted for that sleazy pedophile Matt Gaetz when that noble, courageous woman was the alternative. How stupid can those people in the Florida panhandle be?
