Teen to remain on electronic monitoring
A 16-year-old local boy accused of making school threats against Columbus East High School will continue to wear an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet until his next court hearing.
Our news-gathering partners at “The Republic” are reporting that the teen appeared before Bartholomew Juvenile Court Magistrate Heather Mollo on Wednesday for a status hearing on whether electronic monitoring would continue. This after the family requested the boy be moved to home monitoring. The paper says that Mollo ruled to continue the electronic monitoring after consulting with the Bartholomew County prosecutors office and juvenile probation.
The former student is accused of posting threatening messages during an incident when students vacated the building after a fire alarm was triggered.
