Local Teen Charged after Bringing Knife to School Released-Monday, February 11, 2008Dover- Earlier today, Delaware State Police school resources officers assigned at Caesar Rodney High School arrested a 17-year-old Camden boy for carrying a concealed deadly weapon to school. The boy was charged after he allegedly carried the nine-inch dagger to school in a backpack. A student who observed the boy with a silver knife blade sticking out of his jacket sleeve while on the bus first contacted troopers. Troopers and school administrators contacted the boy at his homeroom and removed him from class. He was escorted to the security office and told there were students on the bus who observed him with a knife. The boy reached into his backpack and pulled out a nine-inch dagger with a blade that measured approximately five and a half inches long. During an interview the boy told troopers he forgot the dagger was in his book bag and he denied carrying the weapon up his sleeve. As a result of the investigation, troopers formally charged Charles M. Elliott with Carrying a Concealed Deadly Weapon and Possession of a Weapon in a Safe School Zone, both felonies. He was arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court 2 and released on his own recognizance. Elliott was also suspended from school. |
