Haisley Elementary Closes After Threat Suspect’s Release as Judge Orders Home Confinement

Police plan a heightened on-campus presence through a Feb. 5 probable cause hearing.

Overview

  • Ann Arbor Public Schools canceled Friday classes at Haisley and listed Community High School and A2 STEAM as closed, citing a very high number of staff absences.
  • Police say 18-year-old Jules Khalfoun left a Jan. 16 note threatening to kill six people at Haisley, leading to felony terroristic-threat and misdemeanor school-threat charges.
  • Khalfoun initially posted a $250,000 bond with a GPS tether and a no‑trespass order, then a judge ordered home confinement at a relative’s residence following an emergency hearing.
  • Court records show a motion hearing set for Friday and a probable cause hearing on Feb. 5 in Washtenaw County District Court, with the public defender representing Khalfoun.
  • Officers searched Khalfoun’s home and found no weapons, and police said they will maintain an on-site presence at the school on instructional days through the Feb. 5 hearing.
