(KMZA)--Additional details have been released on a lockdown at the Marysville Junior-Senior High School late Wednesday morning.

Marysville Police Chief Duane Ackerman said a press release Thursday that the school was locked down as a precaution after a disturbing and threatening message was found on the boy’s bathroom wall.

He said the message was discovered around 10:45 after a school assembly and a fire drill.

Ackerman says at no time was there an immediate threat to the students or staff at the school.

Officer’s from the Marysville Police Department and the Marshall County Sheriff’s office secured the school. Investigations are still on going.

Ackerman says one student was removed from school to be interviewed but was not arrested.

It was the second lock down at a Marshall County school in a week.

A 17-year-old student was arrested February 21st after the Axtell School was placed on lock down in response to a threatening note found at the school.

Marshall County Attorney Laura Johnson-McNish said in a news release that Cordell Swanson, of Frankfort, has been charged with a felony count of communicating a threat to commit violence.

Swanson was briefly held last week at a juvenile detention facility in Junction City. He was released to the custody of his parents, contingent upon certain conditions, after a detention hearing last Friday in Marshall County District Court.
