Attorney General Josh Kaul says prosecutors need more options to bring tougher charges against students who make threats.
Phoning in a threat to a Wisconsin high school could soon include the potential for a felony charge. That means jail time. Wisconsin has experienced a rash of threats this week and has seen two officer-involved shootings at schools in Waukesha and Oshkosh.
Prosecutors can deal with a case as terrorism and file felony charges, but they have limited options other than misdemeanors after that.
A 16-year-old Oshkosh student was arrested for attempted first-degree intentional homicide for stabbing the school resource officer.
