According to the Shelby Star, Tuesday, January 24, 2023 was a very scary day for Shelby High School/ The Shelby Star, which is no longer in Shelby, put out two articles written by two reporters on this day. Teachers, students, parents and the whole CCS system apparently was in a panic. Somebody had posted a threat of mass violence against Shelby High School on some unnamed social media platform.
According to the Star articles the Shelby Police Department made heroic response, posted guards, performed a wonderful investigation and arrested a teen-aged woman who was NOT a SHS Student or was arrested on School Property. But NO names were posted about the person that was arrested. Which leads one to believe the person arrested was a minor. The Star stated the SPD had solved the problem.
So, Robert A looked up the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office Jail Inmate Inquiry and found that Jamayah Alyse Patterson, a Black, Female, Nineteen-Year-old was arrested (“Booked”) on Tuesday, January 24, 2023 and charged with Communicating a Threat of Mass Violence on Educational Property. This is a public record and Ms. Patterson is NO minor.
Apparently, law enforcement did a good job in catching Ms. Patterson and putting her behind bars. It is NOT so apparent that the CCS response was not overblown. It is totally apparent the Shelby Star’s report was incomplete. And, likely written by CCS as a press release in order to take the heat off The CCS School Board for some of their recent FUBARs that have cost (wasted) over a Million dollars in taxpayer funding. FUBARs that the School Board Rogue Republicans: Robert Queen, Joel Shores, Ron Humphries, Rodney Fitch, Walter Scott Spurling, Aaron Bridges and Greg Taylor are trying to blame on Danny Blanton, Ronnie Grigg and last, but not least, Robert A.
Stay tuned folks. Robert A is keeping track of this Mass Violence story as well as all the many FUBARs the School Board is trying to cover-up. Remember folks, the 2024 Elections include the majority of the School Board members as well as the majority of the County Commissioners that are up of election. If you folks want good government in Cleveland County, YOU are going to have to step up and run for elected office. Robert A is thinking hard about running for Commissioner. If Robert A and two more like-minded candidates won election to Commissioner in 2024, we would have the majority and things would change immediately, if not sooner. At CCS as well as the County overall.
