Deputies were immediately sent to the school to provide security, and Sheriff Jason Johnson and a deputy went to Corwin’s apartment.
Corwin allegedly admitted to making the comments to a woman, but he said he was sorry and wouldn’t do anything like it again, according to court records.
Corwin wasn’t found at the school, and the investigation concluded he hadn’t been near the school, according to deputies.
