CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Charlottesville Police are investigating threatening posts left on social media, following a student-led anti-ICE walkout Monday, the CPD announced Thursday.

Monday, the CPD posted a community alert regarding the demonstration by students at Charlottesville High School, warning the community to be aware of possible traffic implications. A number of comments posted in response were reported as threatening, CPD said.

The department’s Investigations Bureau is reviewing the comments to ensure no comments rise to the level of criminal activity.  In the event a comment does rise to the criminal level, it will be handled as any other criminal investigation, and appropriate charges could be filed.

Anyone who sees a comment that appears to involve an active or credible threat is asked to contact the Charlottesville Police Department’s non-emergency line at (434) 970-3280. If there is an immediate danger, they should call 911.
