YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – A 12-year-old boy is facing possible charges after the Yuma Police Department (YPD) said he sent threatening text messages to a group chat for a local youth soccer team.<\/p>\n
According to YPD, officers were notified Monday afternoon after messages suggested a possible incident planned at the Ray Kroc Athletic Complex.<\/p>\n
As a precaution, parents canceled the soccer practice scheduled for that night. Police also patrolled the park and conducted security check in the area to ensure public safety.<\/p>\n
Investigators later determined that the boy had been mistakenly added to the soccer team’s group chat and has no connection to the team.<\/p>\n
YPD said the boy admitted to sending the messages and told officers he intended them as a joke, and said the case will be forwarded to the Yuma County Juvenile Justice Center for review.<\/p>\n
Clifton Bogie, a Yuma local, routinely walks the nearby fields says it\u2019s sad to hear these threats being made.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I\u2019m glad that nothing serious happened, but it\u2019s pretty ridiculous that these kids nowadays make these threats, which is unsubstantiated,\u201d Bogie says.<\/p><\/div>\n
