ST. GEORGE, Utah, Sept. 13, 2022 (Gephardt Daily) — A 46-year-old man was arrested Tuesday after police say he made threats toward a St. George school resource officer.

St. George police say a threat made Monday against the resource officer at Tonaquint Intermediate School, 1210 W. Curly Hollow Drive, included a photo of the school and the officer in uniform.

“Through a coordinated effort, Jason Little was located and arrested (Tuesday) without incident,” a post on the St. George Police Department Facebook page states.
