ANDERSON CO., Ky. (WHAS11) -- Monday morning at Anderson County High School in Lawrenceburg, Ky. began with extra police presence but also a celebration of life and thankfulness.

Kentucky State Police Trooper Josh Satterly, who acted on a routine tip of harassing communications, which eventually led to a suspect plotting a potential mass shooting at a school, was honored in front of a crowd of up to 400 people at Anderson County High School.

The suspect, 20-year-old Dylan Jarrell pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on Monday, Oct. 22. He was arrested last Thursday pulling out of his driveway. Police discovered a firearm, more than 200 rounds of ammunition, a Kevlar vest, a 100-round high capacity magazine and a detailed plan of attack in Jarrell's possession. He lived near Anderson County High School.
