GREAT FALLS â We are learning more about a possible social media threat to students in Teton County.
According to school officials in the county, someone is using SnapChat to get young girls to send them compromising pictures.
Once the pictures are sent, the person says if more pictures are not sent, the ones that have already been sent will be publicized.
School officials say the Teton County Sheriffâs Office contacted each district last week to let them know about the situation.
The Sheriffâs Office is investigating and has hosted assemblies to talk to students, and more are scheduled this week.

GREAT FALLS â Law enforcement and public school officials in Teton County are investigating a possible threat to students in the community.
The City of Choteau said in a
social media post that the Teton County Sheriffâs Office is investigating an unknown individual targeting young females ages 12 and up via social media accounts.
They report that this person, who they say is likely not a Teton County resident, has successfully targeted several young girls (junior high age) in our county and manipulated them to say and do things against their will, and they fear that this sort of crime has spread to more children and we will work cooperatively to end this threat.
A bartender at Hole Bowl was cited for simple assault by the Jackson Police Department over the weekend for throwing pool cue chalk at a customer who refused to wear her mask. The bartender said he had asked the woman â25 timesâ to wear her mask when she wasnât eating or drinking, but she ignored him. âThis is not a joke,â he reportedly told police. âItâs our life.â The bar employee admitted he shouldnât have thrown chalk at the womanâs head. The woman wasnât hurt, and she wasnât cited for allegedly ignoring the mask mandate.
