(9-24-25) The Delphos Police Department and Delphos City Schools are investigating alleged threats made on Snapchat during Canal Days.

The incident happened outside school hours but discussed “things that might happen at school,” Hobbs wrote.

In a letter to parents Wednesday, Delphos Superintendent Jeff Hobbs said several Delphos students engaged in a “Snapchat battle” about the Delphos Jefferson Middle School football team on September 14th.

A parent notified Delphos Police Officer Rob Fitzgerald of the conversation, prompting a joint investigation between the police and the school district.

Hobbs stated in the letter—

“The conversation reached a point where threatening statements were made about individuals,” Hobbs wrote.

The investigation has been ongoing, and consequences have been lobbied and potentially will be ramped up for the individuals involved. I just wanted to let you (parents) know that we take situations like this very seriously, and the school and law enforcement work well together to keep our schools safe.

We have shared the powerful message with our students and their parents of the immense responsibility we all have when it comes to social media. It is truly a partnership between the school and families to raise our kids safely.”
