Rob Clevenger, Butler County Juvenile Court administrator, told this news outlet it is “very unusual” for a 9 year old to be housed in the juvenile detention center.
The boy is being housed separate from older juveniles, he said.
“We usually do not house youth under the age of 12,” Clevenger said.
But it has occurred before.
“We did have 9-year-olds (housed in the Butler County Juvenile Detention Center) in 2014 and 2015 and those were gun related offenses,” he said.
