A New Jersey teacher has been arrested after a potential threat to staff and students shut down an entire school district on Monday, authorities said.

Amir Doctry, a 45-year-old staff member currently on administrative leave from the Montclair School District, was arrested without incident in connection with the threat, the Montclair Police Department said.

Doctry was charged with making terroristic threats and has additional charges pending.

Police said authorities learned of the alleged threat on Sunday and immediately launched an investigation. Police did not detail the threat, though they said it was made online via social media and was “directed at a specific staff member.” 

Following Doctry’s arrest, police said there was no further danger to the community.
