Massachusetts parent accused of threatening to harm Concord superintendent
A Massachusetts parent has been ordered to stay in their home after they were charged with threatening to harm the superintendent of Concord’s public school district, according to police.
Police said John Grace, 53 of Concord, was arrested on Monday after making specific threats to harm Dr. Laurie Hunter. Police investigated the matter and took steps to ensure Hunter’s safety, executing a search warrant at the parent’s home, and seizing all firearms in the home.
It is not clear what led up to the alleged threat at this time.
Grace was arraigned on Tuesday on charges of threatening to commit a crime and threats to use a weapon at a target. At Wednesday’s dangerousness hearing, Grace was ordered to home confinement, to wear a GPS bracelet, and to stay away from and have no contact with Dr. Hunter.
