An 11-year-old boy in Florida was thrown in county lockup after he allegedly bragged about a "kill list" and threatened violence at two schools, according to a report.

Carlo "Kingston" Dorelli, 11, was handcuffed and arrested Monday after he made threats to commit mass shootings at two different schools, namely Silver Sands Middle School and Creekside Middle School. Dorelli is a student of Creekside.

In addition, Dorelli also allegedly bragged about a list of names he planned to target as well as his arsenal of weapons, as reported by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.

Who Alerted the Police?

Police at Volusia County received a tip via the Fortify Florida reporting tool. The tip claimed Dorelli made threats to conduct a school shooting and showed off his weapons in a video chat. It was unclear who made the report.

Detectives launched an investigation and searched Dorelli's room. The operation led to the recovery of an arsenal of weapons, including airsoft rifles, pistols, fake ammunition, knives, samurai swords, throwing stars, and other weapons.

Police also recovered Dorelli's "kill list." The names written on the list were not disclosed to the public.

What Charges Will Dorelli Face?

Following his arrest, the 11-year-old claimed his kill list and threats of violence were "all a joke," Sheriff Mike Chitwood wrote in a Facebook post.

Dorelli will now face a felony charge for a written threat of a mass shooting. The sheriff's office also published a video where officers were seen walking the 11-year-old into a jailhouse in handcuffs.

"Every time we make an arrest, your kid's photo is going to be put out there," Chitwood said. "We're gonna come and get you. We're going to put you out for public embarrassment."

He was taken to the Volusia Family Resource Center for processing before being transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice.

Dorelli's threats and the county's decision to "perp-walk" the 11-year-old comes after a flood of bogus tips of possible threats of violence in the wake of the deadly mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia. In that shooting, a 14-year-old student of the Georgia high school opened fire using an AR-15-style rifle. He killed four people---including two students---and injured nine others.
