Paint Branch HS student arrested after bringing knife, ammo to school

A Paint Branch High School student was arrested at school Thursday morning, and charged with possession of a dangerous weapon on school property. Police responded to the school at 14121 Old Columbia Pike in Burtonsville at 8:34 AM yesterday morning, after school administrators reported finding the student with a pocket knife and six rounds of handgun ammunition in a plastic bag.

Officers searched the school and the student's home, and detectives concluded the 16-year-old had not been in possession of a firearm at the school, nor in his home. The student was released to his guardian, and the matter will be handled by the Department of Juvenile Services.
