Warrant issued for man accused of threatening to kill ex-girlfriend’s kids at Euless school
An arrest warrant was issued late Wednesday for a 34-year-old man accused of threatening to murder his ex-girlfriend and her children, who attend a Euless elementary school, police said.
No one was injured, but additional Euless police officers have been placed at Oakwood Terrace Elementary, 700 Ranger Drive, as a precaution.
Euless police identified the suspect as Jerrekus Rishawn Pendleton, who is accused in the warrant of terroristic threat, a felony.
On Thursday, Euless police said Pendleton is accused of threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend and her children, who attend Oakwood Terrace.
Pendleton made the reported threat at about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, police said.
On Wednesday, Euless police posted on social media that students were safe and additional officers were patrolling in and around the school as the investigation got underway.
