Statement from the Pleasantville Police Department - Jan. 22, 2024

Earlier this morning, a minor entered Mt. Pleasant Library and made a concerning comment to a library staff member. The staff member contacted Pleasantville Police Department and an investigation was commenced. During the investigation, all three schools in the Pleasantville district were placed on lockout – meaning no one could enter the schools – until the incident was resolved. 

The minor was identified and located. The investigation revealed there was never a threat to the community.
