Ye was arrested on Wednesday. Investigators uncovered the alleged plot through a review of Ye's writing and internet searches, authorities said.
Ye has been charged with making threats of mass violence and is currently being held at the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit and was awaiting a bond hearing. Authorities said security has been increased at schools across Montgomery County, particularly Wootton High School. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
