LCSO NEWS RELEASE:
On Wednesday, April 16, during a class transition at Cobb Middle School, an 8th grade student was found in possession of multiple weapons on campus. The incident occurred after the student was observed cutting another student’s backpack with an object described as being similar in size to a pencil.
School administration immediately conducted a search of his backpack. During the search, school staff discovered a mini stun gun and later located a blue case containing a craft carving kit, which the student admitted to using to cut the backpack.
The kit held multiple razor blades of varying shapes and sizes, along with handles designed to hold them.
The student has been charged with 2 counts of Possession of Weapon on School Property and transported to the Juvenile Assessment Center.
Parents and guardians are urged to have open and candid discussions with their children regarding the importance of adhering to the district's zero tolerance policy for weapons on campus. Ensuring that students understand the gravity of this matter and the potential consequences is vital in maintaining a safe and secure school environment.
LCSO is appreciative of school administrators for recognizing an issue and taking swift and decisive action.
