A substitute teacher identifying as transgender in Virginia has been detained over allegations of planning a frightening “murder spree” targeting a local school, while also boasting online about a sinister hit list.
Nineteen-year-old Hadyn Dollery was apprehended on the premises of John Champe High School in Stone Ridge, located roughly 40 miles from Washington, DC. The arrest followed threatening messages posted on Discord, as reported by the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and various media sources.
Authorities were alerted to the suspect’s alarming online activity through a tip received via the department’s Safe2Talk app.
According to a criminal complaint accessed by the Loudon Times-Mirror, the alleged plotter issued threats against family and acquaintances on the messaging platform, including alarming discussions about a mass attack at the school.
The complaint further revealed that the troubled youth, hailing from Chantilly, also claimed possession of a “kill list.”
Dollery worked as a “non-licensed” substitute teacher for the 2025-26 school year but was later scrubbed from the district’s list after being thrown behind bars, the outlet reported.
The long-haired suspect, seen grinning in their mugshot, was charged with threats of bodily harm and is now being held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center, cops said.
The deranged teen — who identifies as a trans woman — was booked as a male and is reportedly being housed alone, WJLA reported.
Dollery is due back in court on May 26.
