(KAIR)--An 18-year-old is in custody, arrested Tuesday in connection with a social media post referencing what Leavenworth Police call "a potential threat at Leavenworth High School."

Police, Monday evening, were informed about the online post, with a release from the Leavenworth Police Department saying the investigation led to the identity of the 18-year-old suspect, identified as a military dependent who resides at Fort Leavenworth.

The Leavenworth Police Department coordinated efforts with the Fort Leavenworth Military Police; but, with no arrest immediately made as of Tuesday morning, a strong police presence was in place at Leavenworth High School "as a precaution," with the release clarifying that there was no immediate threat.

On Tuesday, at 12 noon, Leavenworth Police say the 18-year-old "surrendered to authorities at the Leavenworth Justice Center," where he was interviewed by detectives, then taken to the Leavenworth County jail. He was arrested for criminal threat.

The suspect's name is not immediately made public.
