Police say they've foiled a threat to kill the principal of a high school in Schuylkill County and an implied threat to go way beyond that. Police say a man working as a security guard at Shenandoah Valley School in Shenandoah, just north of Frackville, has been arrested. 

  Investigators say a note was found at Carlos Cintron, III's work station at the school last week. They say that note detailed a threat to kill the principal and possibly attack students. 

Court records indicate the note said, "I request time off to slit the throat of the current principal." The note also said, "there will be another Virginia Tech situation and no one will care, this town doesn't exist." 

Court records show Cintron works for Anthracite Protection, the company that provides security for the schools. Anthracite officials say Cintron was fired immediately after the incident. The Schuylkill County District Attorney says Cintron is a disgruntled employee. Cintron is facing charges of terroristic threats and harrassment. Police say Cintron is in the Schuylkill County Prison.
