RENO COUNTY — A Kansas inmate accused of making criminal threats has been charged with having a homemade knife while in the Reno County Correctional Facility.

Justin Reyna, 30, was sentenced to one year in the Reno County jail, but then granted probation for a conviction of giving a false alarm.

The second count of aggravated criminal threat was dismissed by the state as part of a plea agreement. The crime occurred in March of 2016.

The charge of trafficking in contraband in a correctional facility involving the homemade knife occurred on Sept. 21.

Reyna has served time in prison for convictions of criminal threat and aggravated criminal threat for crimes in Pratt County in 2010.

During that time he spent some time at the prisons in Hutchinson, El Dorado and the Larned Correctional Mental Health Facility and, through all three, had an extensive disciplinary report, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.

In court Tuesday, he requested a reduction of the bond, saying that he has set up appointments at Horizons Mental Health. The state opposed any reduction, but Judge Trish Rose agreed to lower the bond from $10,000 to $5,000.
