A 19-year-old Breinigsville man was arrested June 5 after he allegedly threatened to kill a male student at Parkland High School, South Whitehall .

According to the affidavit of probable cause obtained from District Judge Jake Hammond, South Whitehall, Police Officer Benjamin Porobenski, school resource officer, said he was notified around 7:40 a.m. that day Nicholas Luke Ibarra of 1307 Windmill Lane was on school property and a female student was upset by his presence.

According to the affidavit, upon the female's arrival at the high school, she saw Ibarra, a 2012 Parkland graduate, in the cafeteria and reported this to her father via cell phone and to school administration.

Porobenski states Parkland High School Principal James Moniz and Assistant Principal Anthony Naradko escorted Ibarra to the main office. During a search of Ibarra two knives were allegedly found.

Ibarra was taken to his black, 2004 Pontiac Grand Am in the main parking lot and asked to consent to a search of the car. Ibarra did not consent to a search of his car.

Porobenski states he allegedly saw a copper-colored grinder near a clear plastic zip-type baggie with brown colored leafy vegetable matter.

Porobenski states he learned from school district staff and a parent of the female Ibarra allegedly texted threats to the male student.

Porobenski states he was voluntarily provided printed copies, by the girl and her father, of text messages between the girl and Ibarra that began around 1 a.m. June 5.

According to in the affidavit, at approximately 6:30 a.m. when the girl returned a text message, Ibarra allegedly texted "Tell him to his face when I am there with you. Otherwise I am literally going to … murder this kid in front of everyone." Ibarra also allegedly texted "He should be scared of me, I am scared of myself, I literally am sick with anger."

After allegedly waiving his Miranda Rights, Ibarra allegedly admitted sending threatening text messages, entering the school with two knives and confronting the male student against whom he made threats.

Ibarra was charged with misdemeanor possession of weapon on school property, making terroristic threats and simple trespass. He was arraigned June 5 before Hammond, who set $100,000 bail. Ibarra posted bail the next day and was released from Lehigh County Prison.

Parkland School District Superintendent Richard Sniscak spoke with The Press June 10 about changes the district will make to avoid similar situations in the future.

"We monitor access to the buildings regularly and this situation was prior to the start of school," Sniscak said. "Once school starts all entry ways are locked and there is only one entry way by the main office and people have to be buzzed in."

Sniscak was asked if students would use electronic cards in the fall to gain access to the school.

"The faculty and staff will have cards to access the building, which will limit our points of entry even more," he replied.
