LITTLE EGG HARBOR – An Atlantic County man has been arrested after making terroristic threats to Pinelands Regional High School over Snapchat, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office said.
Frankie Caserta, 21, of Pleasantville, was taken in custody on Wednesday, May 26, and charged with three counts of terroristic threats, according to officials.
