12-year-old Lebanon girl released after 8 days in detention

On Thursday, Judge Joe Kirby released her on a GPS monitor. She is expected to report for school at the detention center and otherwise is restricted in her movements while on house arrest, while awaiting a decision in one of nine cases in recent weeks in Lebanon, Waynesville and Springboro.

It was the only school threat reported last week in the district but the eighth in recent weeks at the middle, junior high and high schools in the Lebanon district.

Students charged in five other cases are also free, including an 18-year-old Springboro student charged with causing evacuation and closure of the high school in late April.
