A report for aggravated criminal threat was filed just after noon Wednesday, according to Friday’s Riley County Police Department Activity Report. Officer listed a 16-year-old suspect, identified as Daniel Marshall, of Manhattan, who reportedly used an educational technology site known as Padlet, to post a threat toward the school.
