A female middle school student advised an officer that a male student had threatened her on a bus while displaying a black handgun that he had tucked in his waistband. He had also displayed the gun a second time while at school. He was arrested at school without incident and the suspected weapon turned out to be a toy gun. The student had removed the orange-colored safety tip off of the gun to give it a realistic appearance. The investigation revealed that the reporting juvenile might have embellished the report to cover the fact that she and another female student had been caught cutting class. The male suspect indicated that he had found the toy gun, showed it around school, and never threatened anyone.
Unknown suspects removed the copper wiring from 14 light poles in the west parking lot of the Prewett Family Water Park.
