A Mahoning County grand jury Thursday indicted a teen accused of threatening the Mahoning County Career and Technical Center earlier this year.

Anthony James Kaczmark, 18, of Maplecrest Drive in Austintown, was indicted on felony charges of inducing panic and making false alarms.

According to police, Kaczmark called MCCTC on Feb. 27 threatening gun violence and the presence of a bomb in a backpack.

After the threats were made, MCCTC was placed on lockdown, and officers from several departments responded. No bomb was found.

The case was referred to the county’s Mental Health Court but application by that court to hear the matter was denied July 17 because it was found the “defendant is not appropriate for the court.” No further explanation was given.

Kaczmark has been free on $20,000 bond while the case is pending.
