We have received several concerns about a social media post tonight regarding a potential threat at Camden High. The Benton County School system and local law enforcement agencies are actively and thoroughly investigating the allegations.
There is no evidence of a threat against any Benton County school at this time. However, as a precaution, law enforcement will be present in increased numbers at schools tomorrow.
