Early yesterday morning, Monticello Police chief britt smith got a message on his phone. It was a notification that someone had sent an anonymous tip about the gun threat to the jones county text to tell system.

Its just an unknown until we are able to get someone to admit that and say i submitted it. Without that kind of admission, police cant do much more to investigate the school threat. We have this sort of anxiety with parents that just because this day is over doesnt mean that theres not going to have some anxiety when sending the kids back to school tomorrow.
