FRANKLIN, Ind. — An Indianapolis man has been sentenced to one year in prison for threatening students at Center Grove Schools earlier this year.
Adrian Abundio-Valente, 19, pleaded guilty to a charge of intimidation, which is a Level 6 felony. The Johnson County Prosecutor’s Office said Abundio-Valente made a threat against Center Grove students who support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Abundio-Valente was sentenced to a maximum sentence of two and a half years, with one full year in prison, followed by 545 days on active probation. While on probation, Abundio-Valente must complete a mental health evaluation and any recommended treatment and Moral Reconation Therapy (a cognitive-behavior treatment for offenders).
