MORE: Mom tells police she can’t ‘control’ son, 13, found living in motel
A knife with a six-inch blade in a sheath as well as a sharpening stone were found in the 16-year-old’s backpack, according to a police report.
The teen said he had used the knife in the woods near his house and forgot it was in his backpack. However, the student had been seen with the knife that morning on the school bus, school officials said.
Because the teen cooperated, he was cited to appear in Butler County Juvenile Court on the charge of conveying dangerous weapons on school property, a fifth-degree felony.
He was released to his father.
