Parramore, 23, of Wesley Chapel, Florida, was arrested in Florida on Sept. 20 and indicted on the aforementioned charges Sept. 24

Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and officers from the University of South Florida police on Saturday arrested Parramore without incident on warrants on the grounds of the University of South Florida located in Tampa, Florida, where Parramore was employed as a maintenance worker.

Parramore has been held in the Hillsborough (Florida) County Jail until he was transported to Lawrence County on Sunday.

The threat prompted Superintendent Dean Nance to close both Ironton Elementary and Middle schools for the day.

There is no word on why Parramore made the threat or how it is connected to Ironton Elementary or the Tri-State.

Lawless placed all Lawrence County schools on precautionary lockdown and sent an officer to every building following the threat.
