Juvenile arrested for intimidation with a deadly weapon in two separate incidents
The Logansport Police Department, with the cooperation of the Logansport Community School Corporation, arrested a juvenile in connection with two separate incidents involving intimidation with a deadly weapon.
The weapon was collected by police and is being held at the police station. It was believed to have been a real weapon at the time of the offenses, however, after being collected was determined to have been an airsoft gun.
The investigation was initiated following reports of a juvenile suspect with a gun in two unrelated events off school property and after school hours. According to a press release, police worked closely with administrators from the LCSC, officers were able to quickly gather critical information leading to the identification of the suspect.
With the support of school officials, the juvenile was safely taken into custody and is currently being held on home detention with a GPS ankle bracelet. Due to the age of the suspect, no further identifying details were released.
'We take any threat involving a weapon extremely seriously,' said LPD Chief Travis Yike. 'This arrest is the result of quick communication and a strong partnership between our officers and the Logansport School Corporation. We remain committed to keeping our schools and community safe.'
The incidents remain under investigation. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact the Logansport Police Department at 574-753-4101.

Cherilynne Gratton-Camis, Jax's mother, announced her daughter's death in a Facebook post on Saturday, June 7. 'With a broken heart, I share the news that our beloved Jax Gratton has been found — and she is no longer with us,' she wrote. 'There are no words strong enough for the grief we are feeling. The light she carried, the love she gave so freely, and the joy she brought into our lives have been taken from this world far too soon," continued Gratton-Camis. The grieving mother added, 'I want to thank everyone — near and far — who has shown up for us. Everyone who shared her story. Everyone who shared her face. Everyone who sent out a prayer, a hope, a kind thought. Everyone who hit the ground running and hasn't stopped." Gratton-Camis also expressed that losing her daughter, who was a trans woman, opened her eyes to the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community 'in ways I can't ignore.' 'It's not just about Jax — it's about all of you in the LGBTQIA+ community who face the world every day with courage, just wanting to live, love and exist safely and equally. That should never be a fight. And yet it is,' she wrote. 'Jax Gratton was a light — I know that. She lit up so many lives just by being herself. Unapologetically. Fiercely. Fully. I see her in every act of love and strength you've shown, and I wish peace, love, and protection for all of you,' continued Gratton-Camis. John Romero of the Lakewood Police Department (LPD) confirmed to PEOPLE that a body was found on Friday, June 6. He said, however, that the coroner has yet to share a positive identification. Jax was last seen leaving her apartment in Denver on Tuesday, April 15, her mom previously told PEOPLE. 'I am terrified for my daughter,' Gratton-Camis said at the time. 'My fear is that somebody killed her,' she continued, then alleging that her daughter had been in abusive relationships in the past. Friends and family told ABC affiliate KMGH-TV that Jax left her apartment at approximately 10 p.m. local time, when she told her roommate that she'd be out for about three hours — but she never came back.
