Maumee man indicted for inducing panic at Penta

A Maumee man has been indicted for allegedly inducing panic in a school.

A Wood County grand jury on Wednesday indicted David Barbosa, 18, for making terroristic threats, a third-degree felony; inducing panic, a second-degree felony; and aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor.

From March 10-23, Barbosa allegedly caused the evacuation of a public place or caused serious inconvenience or alarm by initiating a report of an impending fire, explosion or other catastrophe while knowing the report was false.

The alleged offense happened at Penta Career Center, according to Wood County Prosecutor Paul Dobson.

Barbosa allegedly made a threat with the purpose to intimidate or coerce a civilian population and as a result of that threat, he caused a reasonable expectation of the offense.

On Feb. 1-March 23, Barbosa allegedly caused another to believe he would cause serious physical harm to that person or his or her property.
