Former NISD teacher accused of making threats against superintendent
A former San Antonio teacher was arrested after allegedly making threats to the North ISD superintendent, an arrest affidavit said.
Dalton Austin Brown, 28, a former teacher at John Jay High School, was charged with making terroristic threats against a public servant.
According to the affidavit, Brown was terminated from the district in October for too many unexcused absences. After he was fired, a coworker reported to an NISD officer that Brown was posting “alarming social media posts” directed toward the superintendent, the affidavit said.

The posts included photos of Brown holding firearms, including seven handguns, four AR-style rifles and ammunition, with messages like “You can thank God I didn’t shoot you in your f—ing face hows this for #hatespeech…”
The district was concerned enough to dedicate armed officers to escort the superintendent and his family and stand watch at their home, the affidavit said.
Brown’s bail was set at $17,000.
Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story contained the wrong school district. The suspect was employed with NISD.
