Location: Caesar Rodney High School, 239 North Old Road, Camden

Date of Occurrence: Thursday, October 15th, 2009 at 11 am

Suspect(s): 16-Year Old Female Student

Resume: On Thursday, October 15th, 2009, the Delaware State School Resource Officer assigned to Caesar Rodney High School investigated an incident involving a 16-year old student in possession of a knife.

The investigation revealed that the student was in possession of a knife, measuring approximately eight inches from the handle to tip of the blade. The blade itself was measured at 4.5-inches. The knife was being maintained by the student in her backpack.

The female student was taken into custody without incident and transported to Delaware State Police Troop 3 where she was formally charged with two felonies:

Possession of a Weapon in a Safe School Zone
Carrying a Concealed Deadly Weapon

The student was released to a family member who responded to Troop 3 pending her appearance for arraignment in Kent County Family Court. The student is presently suspended from school pending a review from the school with disciplinary consequences.

It should be interesting to see the comparison.
An Eagle Scout and future West Point cadet received 20 days suspension for a TWO inch knife(total length of blade and handle) LOCKED in his car's trunk in a survival kit.
This yet undetermined sentence was a knife in school building concealed in backpack.
Should be interesting.
Wonder what the disciplinary record is of this young 'lady'?
GPA?
Based on comparison of location and size of knife, this Delaware student should be suspended 10 months.
