An 18-year-old Lady Lake man accused of of writing threats on a bathroom wall warning of an impending school shooting walked free Friday afternoon from the Sumter County Detention Center.
Jacquez Kyvion Hill is free on $21,250 bond after his Feb. 7 arrest on charges of intimidation, disturbing the peace and criminal mischief.
Hill allegedly wrote threats on a bathroom wall at Wildwood Middle High School indicating he was going to “shoot up the school” on Feb. 8.
Last week in Sumter County Court, Hill entered a plea of not guilty in the case.
According to an arrest affidavit from the Wildwood Police Department, on Jan. 30, Hill wrote on the men’s bathroom wall, “I’m going to shoot up the school on February 8th” and encouraged those reading his message to “be ready.”
The threat on the bathroom wall was painted over.
The following day, he allegedly wrote on the same bathroom wall, “on the 8th big shootout.”
In both messages, Hill referenced the KKK and used racial slurs.
Wildwood police relied on a handwriting analysis from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, after obtaining a school work assignment turned in by Hill. The writing on the bathroom wall appeared to match the assignment Hill submitted in class.
Hill was arrested at school on Tuesday.
In a recorded interview, after he was read his Miranda Warning, Hill admitted he had written the threats on the men’s bathroom wall at the school.
Hill’s listed address is 8850 NE 107th Blvd. in Lady Lake.
In January, two students were arrested after a school shooting plot was uncovered at the Villages Charter School. You can read more about that HERE
