A Chatham teen is facing charges for allegedly making threats over social media.

During the argument, the accused allegedly made several threats to harm the victims.

An 18-year-old Chatham man was later located at his home and arrested. He is now charged with one count of uttering threats and has been held in custody for a bail hearing.
