March 5, 2026

The Bledsoe County Sheriff’s Office has received several inquiries and concerns from members of the public regarding a social media post circulating in Facebook groups related to the recent arrest of Roberson Cole Bryant for Threats of Mass Violence on School Property stemming from an incident involving Pikeville Elementary School.

At this time, the Sheriff’s Office would like to clarify that the post currently circulating on social media is not the original post that the threats and criminal charges stem from. Detectives have determined that the post now being shared online has been edited and does not accurately reflect the original content that led to the criminal charge.

The original Facebook post that led to the charge will not be released at this time, as it is considered evidence in an ongoing criminal investigation.

The Tennessee Department of Children’s Services (DCS) is aware of the incident and is expected to conduct an independent investigation.

The Bledsoe County Sheriff’s Office takes any threats of mass violence extremely seriously. Threats of violence involving schools, students, or staff will not be tolerated and will be thoroughly and fully investigated.

We appreciate the public’s concern and cooperation as this investigation continues. No further information will be released at this time while the case remains under investigation.
