Fairfield police arrested a 15-year-old student today for accusations he brought knives to school and made comments school officials considered threats, according to statements from the police and schools.

The Fairfield High School student was in possession of two knives while on school property, said police spokesman Officer Doug Day.

The student was taken into custody by a school resource officer without incident and charged with possessing a deadly weapon in a school safety zone.

Fairfield Local Schools posted a statement on its website:

“This afternoon on Dec. 6 three students at Fairfield High School reported that a student at the high school made some comments today that would be considered as threats. In addition the students reported that this student was in possession of a knife. The administration and school resource officer immediately located the student and confiscated two knives. The school district administered the appropriate disciplinary consequences. The student will not be attending Fairfield Senior High School.

“The school district worked closely with the Fairfield Police Department who will be handling the criminal investigation.”

Day said the matter is still under investigation and police will release information as it becomes available.
