An 18-year-old is in custody after allegedly making threats during the Indiana Borough St. Patrick’s Day Parade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the Indiana Borough Police Department, 18-year-old Chase Mansfield of Indiana, Pa., was taken into custody along the parade route on Philadelphia Street and charged with terroristic threats and disorderly conduct.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Witnesses told police that a little after 11 a.m., they saw a man walking along the parade route saying he was going to “shoot up the parade.” They described the man as wearing dark pants, a dark jacket with a hood up, and a facemask.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One witness was able to point him out to officers, and he was taken into custody.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This incident exposes a danger that is possible at all large gatherings and public events,” said Indiana Borough Police Department Chief Justin Schawl in a statement. “It also highlights the importance of community members immediately reporting suspicious people and activity to police.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police said that Mansfield was not in possession of a weapon when he was taken into custody, and there were no other threats to parade participants or spectators.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“See something? Say something, we are always safer working together,” Chief Schawl’s statement ended.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mansfield is now being housed at the Indiana County Jail and is awaiting arraignment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
