Florida police released the mugshot of the 10-year-old boy they publicly arrested and perp walked for allegedly threatening a mass shooting at his elementary school.
Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno, who touts himself as Florida's 'law and order sheriff,' defended publicly exposing the juvenile by saying 'a child pulling a trigger equals the same aftermath.'
Daniel Issac Marquez, 10, was arrested Saturday and charged with making a written threat to conduct a mass shooting after sending a text about Patriot Elementary School in Cape Coral.
The boy's alleged text read: 'I scammed my friend' and included a Google image of money, according to his arrest report.
'I bought this,' he added a few seconds later, a included an image of four assault rifles.
Marquez then stated: 'Get ready for water day,' referencing a recent school-sponsored event in which students participate in water activities, like playing in sprinklers.
'He described wads of cash and 'get ready' to commit a mass shooting,' Marceno said of the text during a W radio interview Monday, adding: 'We don't wait one second. We investigate every threat as if it's real.'
'Every single threat is real. Every threat is real until you prove not,' Marceno added.
The sheriff also commented on the boy's very public arrest, saying that 'fake threats' result in 'real consequences.'
'I did a campaign. Fake threat, real consequence. While I understand the boy is 10 years old. His brain's not fully developed, he's a juvenile, I have to tell you. When a 10-year-old presses a trigger, the aftermath is the same regardless of the age,' the sheriff explained.

The little punk is behind on spankings.
And 3, 2, 1 for the incoming flak...
Look at him..He doesn’t look all that upset....
Imagine if he was white “NEW GENERATION OF LITTLE ADOLFS RISING IN AMERICA OMG”
Children who understand what a threat is, whether or not they understand the consequences of making one, do not deserve anonymity. People should know who they’re dealing with.
Stupid little git.
My dad woulda kicked my ass into the next area code for that.
Betcha he doesn’t do it again.
Sooo brave of these cops! It probably took them a week to work up their courage to arrest this 10-year-old.
“My dad woulda kicked my ass into the next area code for that.”
Wanna bet he does not have a dad? So often we see kids hurt, killed, in trouble with the law and who is in front of the camera? The mother and no dad. Oh gee I wonder why? NOT!
A week of overtime pay.
” It probably took them a week to work up their courage to arrest this 10-year-old.”
Took them all of ten seconds. Read this article below, this county is known for not only arresting juvies but posting their photos.
“Lee County is no stranger to publicizing the crimes of children. The county has shared numerous juvenile mugshots, revealed their names and detailed their alleged crimes online. (followed by pic of mugshots)”
I’m so tired of opinion outlets injecting their bias into headlines. “Jokingly” yeah, right..
Had the boy been serious and followed through with it, done anything, they’d have been so sure about “jokingly?”
Would they be saying “jokingly” if the boy was some other color? Like white? I don’t think so.
My mother would’ve “only” bitch slapped me into the next zip code.
The left set out to destroy the traditional family and has nearly succeeded.
“Truth is often spoke in jest”
True..... but this [headline] seems like some post-incident exculpatory thing to me.....
My mother bitch-slapped me once……Once!
That guy is a gym rat.
They are mighty brave when there isn’t a real gun and someone using it on innocent victims. Cops are just another failure of government now.
So many on FR treat LE like they are infallible. I often say at least half of LE would be criminals if they couldn’t get a job that allows them to be a-holes with guns on a bullying power trip. Yet somehow on FR they are treated as saintly.
