Pana School District had an eventful week. 

Friday morning, Pana Police Department received a notice someone with an electronic monitoring device on pre-trial release had entered an exclusion zone. 

Pana Police notified Pana High School that the suspect had entered the vicinity of the school and PHS went into a soft lockdown. 

Less than five minutes after the alarm, police responded to the subject’s residence and found no evidence of them leaving the property. Police notified Pana School District shortly thereafter, to which they lifted the lockdown. 

Police reported the electronic monitoring issue to the appropriate authorities. 

In an unrelated incident Wednesday morning, Pana Police arrested a 16-year-old Pana High School student for posting an alleged threat toward schools. Police charged the minor, who posted a threat he wanted to carry out on Snapchat, with Disorderly Conduct; a Class 4 Felony.

Authorities processed the juvenile and transported him to the Christian County Courthouse for a Juvenile Detention hearing. 

Pana Police Department and the Christian County State’s Attorney’s office is handling the active investigation.
