JPSO: Suspect caught in Westbank school threats

Shana Rose and Jay Vise Reporting



The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office says they've arrested a man in connection with threats at four Westbank schools.
 
Sherriff's spokesman Col. John Fortunato says phone threats to burn down the schools were received early this morning.  The calls led to lockdowns and the evacuation of one school.
 
"Upon reviewing the numerous recordings left on Fisher High and Marrero Academy's phone answering systems, our investigators were able to determine a phone number from where the calls originated," Fortunato said.
 
"Shortly thereafter, our investigators called the phone number and in turn were greeted by a subject who identified himself as Shane Kersey.  When questioned relative to the threatening phone calls at the schools, Kersey admitted making the phone calls to four schools this morning, two in Jefferson Parish and two in Plaquemines Parish.  When asked for a current location where Kersey was, he  told  investigators he was at friend's home in Gretna.  Detectives proceeded to the Gretna address and located Shane Kersey."
