DYERSBURG, Tenn. — An Alabama man and an 11-year-old girl were charged after police in Dyersburg say they made a threat against a local school.

The 11-year-old from Dyersburg was arrested on Thursday and also charged with filing a false police report. She is scheduled to appear before a judge on October 16.
Police did not say how the pair were connected or why they made the threat.
