A Fayette County
High School student has been suspended from school for 10 days after a
search of his vehicle on campus Thursday revealed several weapons.
But as of Tuesday
morning, no criminal charges had been filed against the 16-year-old juvenile,
according to police. Lt. Tom Kirkbride of the Fayetteville Police Department
originally said the school would determine whether to press charges, but
then he told The Citizen the matter "is still under investigation"
School spokesman
Melinda Berry-Dreisbach said Tuesday that FCHS Principal Charles Warr
was upset police hadn't filed charges against the student. The Police
Department made the final determination whether to file charges, not school
officials, Berry-Dreisbach said.
Kirkbride said
police found a stun gun, some knives and a box cutter in the vehicle.
The student's father claimed the weapons were his and the student was
unaware they were in the vehicle, Kirkbride added.
The student
received the standard 10-day suspension for violation of the school system's
weapons policy, Berry-Dreisbach said. A disciplinary tribunal will be
scheduled to hear information about the incident.
