Kentucky man arrested over innocent FaceBook post

I never thought the average intelligence quotient in Muhlenberg County would compare well to Cal Poly's but I did think most could get in out rain without help. Sadly I was wrong. There is something fishy about law enforcement's media shyness in this instance.
Family members say Evans posted the following on Facebook on August 24:
"Student bodies lying dead in the halls, a blood splattered treatise of hate. Class dismissed is my hypothesis, gun fire ends in debate."
The family says it's lyrics from the song "Class Dismissed" by the band Exodus.
Mike Drake, the Muhlenberg County school resource officer, says multiple agencies received calls concerned about the post.
So Evans was arrested for terroristic threatening.
The warrant says Evans was arrested because, "he threatened to kill students and or staff at school."
Did Officer Drake actually read the post before rushing out to get a warrant? It could be that no one in the county ever heard of Exodus unless it referenced Moses and the pharaoh. Hell, I'm surprised they even heard of Face Book.
