A St. Joseph teen accused of making threats which lead to the lockdown of Lafayette High School made his first court appearance during an arraignment Tuesday.

18-year-old Tri Tran is charged in Buchanan County with a misdemeanor for making terrorist threats.

According to court documents, Tran’s Attorney, Latia Hubbard entered a motion to reduce bond.  Tran is currently being held on $10,000 bond.

Lafayette was placed under lockdown Friday after police began investigating threats of possible violence against the school.

“According to witness statements and police reports, the suspect Tri Trans sent several messages to students at Lafayette High School making them believe that he was in the school,” Det. Greg Ogdahl with the St. Joseph Police Department said in court documents. “He has made threats to other students in the past and was believed by school personnel and Law Enforcement that the suspect had access to guns by social media photos.”

School officials said everyone in the building was directed to shelter because of the threat of a weapon inside.

The school was placed under lockdown for nearly two hours.
