Two juveniles have been arrested following threats of violence at Pana High School.  According to the Illinois State Police two separate juveniles were believed to be responsible for messages left on Wednesday, November 2nd.  ISP responded to Pana High School after officials notified ISP of a threatening message in a bathroom stall on Wednesday and another message that was found on Thursday.  The two messages were separate incidents.  

 

Both juveniles were identified by ISP and Christian County States Attorney Wes Poggenpohl has approved one count of disorderly conduct threat of violence, a Class 4 Felony, for each suspect. 

 

The Illinois State Police are urging parents to talk to their children and inform them how serious this really is.  ISP Takes threats of school violence seriously and individuals found responsible for making such threats will be held accountable.  ISP thanked Pana High School, Pana PD, the Christian County Sheriff's Office, the Shelby County Sheriff's Office, the Illinois Secretary of State Police, Pana Fire & EMS, the Echo Response EMS, and all other involved police and fire departments for their quick response to ensure the safety of Pana High School students.
