    A pre-teen Florida boy was handcuffed and thrown in county lockup after he alleged bragged about his massive cache of weapons and plans to execute a “kill list” at two different schools, a sheriff said.

    The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office seized a stockpile of airsoft guns, knives and swords after Carlo “Kingston” Dorelli, 11, showed a video of his armory to classmates and threatened violence, Sheriff Mike Chitwood alleged in a Facebook post.

    “He had written a list of names and targets. He says it was all a joke,” Chitwood wrote.

    For his “joke,” the sheriff slapped Dorelli with a felony charge for a written threat of a mass shooting and published a video of officers leading the boy into the jailhouse with handcuffs on his wrists and ankles.

    They also published his mugshot along with a photo of replica assault rifles, samurai swords and throwing stars displayed on a table, drug-bust style.



    The dramatic display came days after Chitwood vowed to “perp-walk” kids who make prank threats amid a flood of bogus tips in the wake of the deadly shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia that left four dead.

    “Every time we make an arrest, your kid’s photo is going to be put out there…We’re gonna come and get you. We’re going to put you out for public embarrassment.” Chitwood said in a press conference last week, after Florida authorities received 54 phony tips of impending school shootings in a single night.

    Florida isn’t the only state inundated with threats to shoot up schools.

    On Friday, cops in Foley, Alabama, nabbed two teens for “making a terrorist threat” on social media, according to local police, just days after a school in that town was placed on lockdown when a teacher overheard a student talking about having a weapon.

    The same day, a 12-year-old and 15-year-old were arrested in Indianapolis in two different cases of threats against their school district, according to WFYI Indianapolis.

    Two 12-year-olds were arrested last week in Texas, where authorities have booked at least ten youngsters for threats of school violence in this school year alone, reported My San Antonio.

    Chitwood, at least, has had enough: “For the little bastards out there who think this is funny, ha ha ha, you want to get on social media: You ain’t that smart…You’re getting caught,” he said.
