The man who was believed to have threatened Elida schools last year will not have to spend any more time in jail. 20-year-old Tristan Ascura was sentenced to two years of probation after pleading guilty to making a false alarm. He was also ordered to obtain his GED, forfeit his rifle, and stay off all Elida School property. Ascura already served about 14 months in jail. It was explained Ascura was playing a video game called PUBG (Player Unknown's Battlegrounds). It's a survivor game with locations that must be controlled and a school was one of those locations.

The man alleged to have threatened Elida schools last year has reached a negotiated plea. 20-year-old Tristan Ascura agreed to waive his indictment and sign a bill of information pleading guilty to the charge of making a false alarm, a fourth-degree felony. Ascura will also forfeit his rifle, stay away from Elida school property and is released on an own recognizance bond.

The man alleged to have threatened to shoot up Elida High School was back in court Wednesday afternoon. Attorneys of 20-year-old Tristan Ascura filed another motion to suppress. The motion this time involved an interrogation, and the defense alleges "coercion" had been used by law enforcement.

Wednesday afternoon, the 19-year-old man who allegedly threatened to shoot up a school was back in court for a suppression hearing.

The lawyer for a 19-year-old who allegedly made threats to shoot up Elida School on September 1st is trying to get evidence removed before trial. 

The trial of the 19-year-old who made threats of shooting up Elida High School has been pushed back until December.
