Texas Teen Derick Montelongo: Young Nut Job Caught Early

Kingwood, Texas

As the world comes to grips with the shooting at a Connecticut school, another young man was busy with an evil school plot.

Derick Richard Montelongo, an 18-year-old Kingwood High School student, was arrested Tuesday morning after he was accused of threatening to use a firearm on a police officer, court documents state.

Montelongo, of Kingwood, is charged with exhibition of firearm.

Back on December 12, the principal at Kingwood High School called police after someone had drawn a picture of a stick figure with a gun pointing to its head on a restroom wall. The phrase “Kill Officer West” was next to the drawing. Officer Randy West with HISD Police patrols the campus.

Police discovered other drawings of dead police and a threat claiming that everyone at the school would be shot at 3:07.

After officials reviewed security video and interviewed witnesses, they were able to determine that Montelongo was the culprit in regards to the threats. The student was pulled out of class, and an administrative search was conducted.

Officials found similar drawings to the ones found in the restroom on him and a red cap to a marker that may have been used on the restroom walls, court documents state.

Montelongo's bail was set at $10,000.
