A Proctorville teen will spend the next four years in prison following his admission that he posted material on social media that the Fairland School District found “alarming.”

Samuel Patrick, 19, with a listed address of 179 Township Road 1233, pleaded guilty to a second-degree count of inducing panic Wednesday in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court.

Prosecuting attorney Brigham Anderson said he and Patrick’s attorney, Gene Meadows, reached a plea agreement in the case. Judge Charles Cooper presided over the case and sentenced Patrick to four years in prison.

Patrick, as well as John Pacinhik, 18, of the same address, were arrested in April and subsequently indicted on inducing panic charges after the Fairland School District reported “alarming” material had been posted through the social media site, Instagram.

Pacinhik pleaded guilty in September to a reduced charge of fifth-degree inducing panic, which carries a maximum of 12 months in prison.

Anderson said a sentencing date had not yet been set, but would likely be in the next few weeks.
