COVENTRY — Police on Tuesday identified and arrested a student in connection with an overheard threat about having a weapon that led to a four-hour lockdown at Coventry High School on Monday.

No weapon was found in Monday's search of the entire school, everyone in it, and all their belongings.

In a news release, Coventry police said the student does not have access to firearms.

The person was charged with disorderly conduct and the case was referred to Family Court, the news release said.

Rittenhouse verdict comes amid a fraught gun landscape
The upcoming verdict in Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial for shooting three men during street unrest in Wisconsin comes against a backdrop of deep political divisions and expanded access to guns in the United States – factors that some fear could lead to more dangerous encounters. The 18-year-old testified he fired in self-defense, killing two men and wounding a third, after coming under attack during a night of protests against racial injustice in Kenosha in the summer of 2020. While legal experts have said the details give Rittenhouse a strong argument for self-defense, some worry about the broader signal an acquittal could send.

EXPLAINER: Why did judge drop Rittenhouse gun charge?
On the surface, it looked like prosecutors' easiest task at Kyle Rittenhouse's murder trial would be convicting him of a much less significant charge — being a minor in possession of a firearm. Rittenhouse was 17 when he shot three people, killing two, with a semi-automatic rifle on the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a protest against police brutality last year. Prosecutors brought multiple charges against him, including first-degree intentional homicide, attempted homicide, reckless endangerment and the firearm possession count.
