The Pana Police Department continues to investigate a reported bullying incident at Pana High School, where a student was allegedly held over a toilet against his will by multiple classmates.

According to police, the incident occurred approximately three to four weeks ago but was not reported to school staff until Friday, March 28. Investigators have since conducted multiple interviews, gathered statements, and collected evidence to determine the full scope of the situation.

Authorities say five students have been implicated in the incident. While the victim was not physically harmed and had no contact with the toilet, police are looking into the events leading up to and following the alleged bullying. The case file will also include a history of prior incidents involving the victim.

Pana Police say they are working closely with school officials as they continue their investigation. Once complete, the case will be presented to the State’s Attorney for review.

Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact the Pana Police Department.
