An 18-year-old man accused of displaying a gun on the campus of Columbus State Community College and causing a lockdown has been indicted on charges including inducing panic and aggravated menacing.

Franklin County's prosecutor said Wednesday that the grand jury also indicted Deandre McClarin on weapons counts.

Columbus State Community College closed for a day March 8 after the reports of a man with a gun at the college's Center for Teaching and Learning. No gunshots were reported.

Court records don't show an attorney for McClarin.

McClarin was arrested later in suburban Columbus. Classes at the college resumed March 9.

The school has said McClarin wasn't a student there but his girlfriend, 19-year-old Emilee Ileene Hall.

Franklin County Prosecutor said the person threatened by McClarin was in the same class with Hall. She has been indicted on one count of obstructing justice in connection with the incident.

McClarin is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges April 7.
