DAVENPORT, Iowa — A Davenport man is in jail after reportedly making a threatening Facebook post that caused a lockdown at Davenport Central High School Friday morning.
According to the Davenport Police Department, at about 11:35 a.m. on December 17, the school was placed on lockdown amidst police investigation into a threat made against the school in a Facebook post.
