PORT ST. JOE, Fla. -- A 33-year-old man is facing charges after staff at Port St. Joe Elementary School contacted the school resource deputy about a drawing that showed a school on fire, a person running from the building on fire, and others being shot, authorities say, CBS affiliate WPEC-TV reports

Robert Paul Alexander Edwards, of Mexico Beach, was arrested Friday for reportedly drawing the picture on a student's homework assignment, the Gulf County Sheriff's Office said.

An investigation revealed that Edwards drew the alarming picture, which also included the words, "Pew, Pew, Pew" next to a person with a gun, WPEC-TV reported.

There was no indication that he would carry out the threat. Edwards faces charges of a written threat to kill or do bodily harm to others.
