November 20, 2025 – Port Charlotte, FL
A student at Port Charlotte high school was arrested on Thursday afternoon for making threats towards a teacher on Instagram.
On Thursday, November 20, deputies responded to Port Charlotte High School after a tip was called in by an FBI Intake Research Specialist. The caller noted that an Instagram post was made by a student, later identified as Angellique L. Nichols (DOB 03/09/2009), threatening to ‘blow up and kill’ a teacher. The PCHS School Resource Deputy was quickly able to identify and detain Nichols based on information provided from the social media account.
“Charlotte County Public Schools considers every threat a serious matter. Students will not only be held accountable by law enforcement, but also by the district” said Charlotte County Superintendent of Schools Mark Vianello. “Parents were notified promptly by school administration, reflecting our commitment to clear and timely communication. We encourage families to speak with their children about the seriousness of making threats, whether spoken, written, or posted online, and the serious consequences that follow.”
When detectives asked Nichols about the post, she stated that the post was made out of frustration towards the teacher, and she realized she should not have done it.
“Stating after the fact that you did not mean it does not take the seriousness of these types of threats away. Once the post is out there, the damage is done, and there is no sympathy for your regret. We will continue to take every school threat seriously and hold each and every person behind them accountable.”
