FLAGLER COUNTY – A student at Matanzas High School has been arrested after authorities said he wrote and recorded a song that contained threatening messages towards a school employee.
A Flagler County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Deputy was working at Matanzas High School Tuesday when he received reports of a song circulating online about an administer at the school.
During the investigation, FCSO found that the song was recorded by 18-year-old Joseph Washington.
The student reportedly wrote the song in retaliation for being suspended for using offensive language while on campus.
In the lyrics of the song, deputies said Washington threatens physical harm to a faculty member and states that he was suspended from school for a dress code violation and using vulgar language towards the school administrator.
