She claimed the post was a joke and said she does not own a Glock or have any interest in guns. The sheriff's office searched her home and found no weapons, though they did not find any evidence to support her claim.\n\nChitwood emphasized that his department takes online threats seriously, citing a previous incident where he perp-walked students who had made false threats at school. Albro remains in jail without bond until her next hearing on Monday.",
