Teacher Charged After False Assault Report Prompts Lockdown at Splendora High School
Investigators say 80 officers responded after a teacher’s panic alarm and found the injury was self-inflicted, leading to false report and evidence charges.
- On Thursday, April 9, 2026, Splendora High School entered lockdown after 53-year-old teacher Nicole Truelove triggered a panic alarm that authorities later determined was a hoax involving self-inflicted injuries.
- More than 80 law enforcement officers from multiple agencies responded within minutes, initially investigating reports of an assault involving a student and a staff member at the campus.
- Investigators determined the assault report was a "hoax" after finding a blade in Truelove's possession, confirming no students were harmed during the incident that disrupted morning classes.
- Authorities charged Truelove with filing a false report and tampering with evidence, while the Texas Education Agency opened a separate investigation into the teacher.
- Splendora ISD Superintendent Dr. Dustin Bromley defended the security response as "flawless," stating emergency protocols successfully kept students safe while the district managed parent reunification throughout the afternoon.
