The Williamson Daily News reported Friday Kenneth Wood, 18, of Lenore, was arrested Nov. 7 by members of the Mingo County Sheriff’s Department.

A criminal complaint filed in Mingo County Magistrate Court alleges Wood made multiple threats of intimidation against fellow students and added their names to a “kill list.”

Deputies allegedly discovered two separate lists on Wood’s computer. One list included 26 names of individuals to be “spared” and 24 names on what was labeled “kill list.”

Wood was arraigned in Mingo County Magistrate Court and is lodged in the Southwestern Regional Jail in lieu of $50,000 cash only bail.

Administrators at Tug Valley High School referred all questions about the cast to the superintendent who was unavailable for comment Friday.
