I have three links for you regarding this very much media-neglected and buried story. I don't know why some of the links are highlighter yellow and am in a hurry so will try to tinker with it later.

The Tennessee Conservative Staff –
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for Middle Tennessee announced that a former student of Christ Presbyterian Academy (CPA) in Nashville has been arrested and accused of cyberstalking after making threats against Governor Bill Lee and his wife Maria on social media.
The social media posts were the final straw in a string of suspicious activities over the last couple of months, beginning with a questionable voicemail left for CPA on March 24, 2024.
The individual arrested was identified by the Metro Nashville Police Department as McKenzie McClure. According to McClure’s Facebook page, she identifies as a “trans man” and sometimes goes by the name Kalvin Amadeus Mikoledes.
McClure was formerly McKenzie Anne Stephens. She was later married to Jarrod McClure. Sources say she attended CPA from 1999-2004.
A criminal complaint of the March incident states that McClure left a voicemail for the school in which she referenced Deadpool 2, a Marvel superhero movie that features a character who goes back to the orphanage he grew up in so he can kill the headmaster, who was abusive.
At the time, MNPD stated that no direct threat was made against CPA, so they chose not to arrest McClure.
MNPD later clarified that they did not interview McClure, as she lived outside of Davidson County.
A check of security footage showed that McClure had been on the CPA campus on February 25, 2024.
The latest criminal complaint states that McClure posted a threat against Governor Lee and his wife on her X (formerly Twitter) account on April 25. This is the same day that Governor Lee visited CPA, where his wife had previously worked.
The post read, “Also Bill Lee knows if he makes one wrong move it’s Joever [sic] for him and my 4th grade teacher…i.e., his WIFE.”
McClure was arrested on April 29 and will remain in federal custody for the time being.
***********************
An individual who sent a message causing a Nashville private Christian school to close back in March was arrested for alleged cyberstalking, according to court documents. The person also appears to identify as a member of the LGBTQ community.
On March 24, days before the anniversary of the Covenant School shooting, Christ Presbyterian Academy received a message containing “disconcerting language towards the safety of our campus,” school officials said in an email to parents at the time, WSMV reported. CPA and neighboring Currey Ingram Academy in Brentwood closed the next day due to safety concerns.
WSMV later reported that MNPD identified and engaged an individual suspected to be responsible for sending the troubling message, but police decided to not arrest or charge this person. Police also reportedly determined that no actual threat was made against the school in the message.
The Department of Justice provided The Tennessee Star with court documents identifying the individual who sent the message as a former student of CPA named McKenzie McClure, who also goes by Kalvin McClure.
According to the court docket and the criminal complaint against her, McClure was arrested by federal agents on April 29, a little more than one month after she left a troubling voicemail for CPA. McClure remains in federal custody at press time.
The criminal complaint against McClure identifies her account on X, formerly Twitter, where she posted, “I’m here. I’m QUEER. GET USED TO IT!!!”
In her voicemail to CPA in March, transcribed in the criminal complaint, McClure referenced Deadpool 2, a movie about a Marvel superhero where one of the characters returns to the orphanage where he was raised to kill the abusive headmaster.
McClure also made several posts to her account about CPA, including video of the school itself and herself talking about her experience there as a student, according to the complaint which cited her X account. She also made troubling references to the Columbine school shooting.
The complaint also features still images from February of McClure on CPA’s grounds captured on the school’s security cameras.
McClure’s arrest came a little more than one year later than the Covenant School shooting on March 27, 2023, when a transgender individual who attended the Covenant School as a child entered the building and killed six people. This person’s writings leading up to the shooting have yet to be released by authorities.

****************************
The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) told The Tennessee Star it did not interview an alleged cyberstalker now in federal custody who left a concerning message for Christ Presbyterian Academy (CPA) in March that caused the school to close for one day.
McKenzie McClure, a self-identified “trans man” also known as Kalvin McClure or Kalvin Mikoledes, was arrested on suspicion of cyberstalking by federal agents on April 29 for the message she left for CPA and her social media activity where she made several concerning posts about CPA and threatened Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and his wife Maria Lee. McClure is still in federal custody.
“McClure does not reside in Davidson County and this agency did not participate in an interview of her,” MNPD Public Affairs Director Don Aaron told The Star in an email.
The Star asked whether MNPD interviewed McClure (pictured above) after she left her message for CPA, whether McClure had been sent for a mental health evaluation, if MNPD determined McClure made a threat toward Bill Lee, and if MNPD took any precautions due to such a threat.
However, MNPD reportedly identified and engaged McClure after she left her March voicemail for CPA, but police officers did not arrest her because they determined the contents of her message did not constitute a threat, according to WSMV at the time.
The Star followed up with MNPD to confirm if WSMV’s reporting is accurate and determine the details of officers’ interactions with McClure.
“We did identify the out of county individual,” Aaron told The Star in an email. “We had discussions with out of county law enforcement and subsequently with other entities.”
McClure, a former CPA student, posted to her X account days before her arrest, “Also Bill Lee knows if he makes one wrong move it’s Joever [sic] for him and my 4th grade teacher… i.e., his WIFE.”
McClure made that post the same day that Bill Lee made a visit to CPA’s campus, according to the criminal complaint filed against McClure. The complaint also noted Maria Lee’s former employment at CPA.
The Star asked the governor’s office to confirm whether Maria Lee taught McClure and if Bill Lee visited CPA’s campus the same day of McClure’s threatening post, though no response has been received yet.
Maria Lee taught third and fourth grade at CPA for 14 years and coached softball, track, and cross country, according to her office’s website. The criminal complaint document against McClure says she attended CPA from 1999 to 2004, citing school officials.
In McClure’s voicemail, as transcribed in the criminal complaint, she referenced Deadpool 2, a Marvel superhero movie where one of the characters returns to the orphanage where he was raised to kill the headmaster who abused him as a child.
McClure told CPA to “trust me when I say unless you want another Deadpool 2, you killed by my hand type of stuff. You know exactly what I am talking about.”
McClure left her voicemail on March 24, only days before the first anniversary of the Covenant School shooting. On March 27, 2023, a former student of the Covenant School who identified as transgender entered the building and killed six people before being killed by MNPD officers.
McClure was formerly McKenzie Anne Stephens, a 2017 graduate of Lee University who married Jarrod McClure and worked as a wedding photographer, The Star previously reported citing her apparent Facebook account.
