Boy charged with bringing box cutter to school
Posted September 18th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.sheboyganpress.comA 16-year-old in Sheboygan, Wisconsin has been charged with carrying a deadly weapon after he was caught at school with a box cutter in his pocket.
The boy took a box cutter to school Tuesday after someone chased him home wielding a baseball bat on Monday. The boy’s mother called police because her son said he would handle the situation Tuesday at school.
The box cutter was found in the boy’s pocket while he was at STRIVE, the Sheboygan Area School District’s alternative high school.
He was charged as an adult because he was previously waived into adult court in another case. Offenders age 16 and younger are charged by default in juvenile court but can be waived into adult court.
