In July 2023, a protocol was filed against Panarin by the district commissioner for firing a weapon in an improper location. On that day, he discharged multiple shots from his own gun within the Tumashevo tract of the Moshensky district.
This gross violation of public safety prompted a Borovichi District Court ruling, imposing a 40,000-ruble fine and gun confiscation. Panarin's first-time offense and guilty plea factored into this decision. The court's verdict may still be challenged.
