Texas Teacher Allegedly Sends Death Threats

(Bay City, Texas) A 41-year-old substitute teacher for the Bay City ISD, Paul Nolen May, was arrested for allegedly sending messages to the school district threatening to kill students.

Nolen has been charged with 12 counts of felony making terroristic threats.

The threats began on December 28 when the district received a hand-written, profanity-laced letter, purportedly from the parent of a student.

In the letter, the sender expressed anger over their child being disciplined at school. The letter detailed new "rules" for the school to follow regarding discipline and threatened to "kill a random student" if the demands were not met.

About a week later, a second threat was sent via text message.

May was booked into custody at the Matagordo County Jail with bond set at $240,000.
