The teen at the centre of a violent threat to College Notre Dame will return to court on July 24.
Zachary Pilon, 18, was arrested March 20 after he allegedly posted on social media in March his plans to commit violence against the students at his school. A post had circulated on Instagram warning that, on “Friday March 22nd, everyone will finally know my name… Look out CND.”
He was released on bail on March 21 at about 5:30 p.m. and charged with criminal harassment and uttering threats.
His bail comes with a strict set of conditions, including a curfew that mandates he must remain in his father or mother's home between school hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. from Monday to Friday.
Pilon was given a few exceptions to the curfew, including medical emergencies, going to and from work, while in the presence of his surety or his mother.
Pilon was also given a no contact order for all of the people whose names appeared in an Instagram post from the account ‘cnd_is_sus’ titled ‘CND KILL LIST.’
He is not to possess any weapons, apply to own weapons, or reside where weapons are kept. Pilon is not to attend or be within 200 metres of any school, and is not to attend College Notre Dame or be within 250 metres of the school.
He was also handed an almost a complete technology ban. Pilon will be restricted from using any handheld mobile device, accessing any forms of social media, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and SnapChat, and will only be permitted to access the internet for the purpose of school work and assignments, or checking his work schedule online.
Pilon may only access a computer within the home of his surety or his mother and must do so under either person's supervision, and only his father and mother can have the password to the computer that Zachary will be using.
