Audrain County teen gets probation following threats of Community R6 school shooting

Posted

18-year-old Drake Campbell, of Laddonia, pleaded guilty last week to second-degree harassment.

Campbell received a one-year jail sentence, however it was suspended and instead received two years of supervised probation, according to court records.

His probation conditions are as follows, he cannot consume any intoxicants unless prescribed by a doctor and can't enter any establishment that sells intoxicants.

He must submit a breath or blood test upon law enforcement's request, cannot have contact with victims or their families, and must take a mental health evaluation and follow any recommendations, according to online records. Campbell original charges in May were second-degree harassment.

Audrain County Sheriff Matt Oller began an investigation when a parent told about the threats made to students at the Community R6 High School. Court documents read multiple people heard Campbell discuss plans for a school shooting on the last day of graduation. Campbell allegedly had a list of students and staff that he would target. During an interview Campbell told investigators he did not have the list anymore. Following the threats, Audrain County deputies were required to be at the high school on the last day of school and at the graduation ceremony.
