Teen charged after threatening Ann Arbor elementary school, police say

An 18-year-old has been charged after making threats directed at an Ann Arbor elementary school as students nearly two weeks ago.

Ann Arbor police responded to Haisley Elementary School around 4 p.m. on Jan. 16 on a report that the teen, later identified as Jules Khalfoun, threatened to harm people with a firearm. 

Police later searched the Khalfoun's home and did not find any firearms. 

On Wednesday, Jan. 28, Ann Arbor police arrested Khalfoun, who was arraigned on one felony count of making terroristic threats and one misdemeanor count of making school threats. The teen received a $250,000 cash/surety bond and is required to wear a GPS tether if released.

A no-trespass order has also been issued against the teen, restricting him from all Ann Arbor Public Schools properties. Khalfoun is also ordered to have no alcohol, possess weapons, not to travel outside of Michigan and not to engage in any criminal activity.

Ann Arbor Public Schools issued the following statement, saying in part: 

"The safety of our students and staff is our priority, and we are taking this situation very seriously. We are committed to the safety and well-being of our students, staff and community. We appreciate the quick response from our school administration and staff, as well as the cooperation and support from our families." 

Khalfoun is due back in court on Feb. 5.
