FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — A student at Choctawhatchee High School reportedly threatened a classmate with a pocketknife, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has announced.
According to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO), a 15-year-old boy was taken into custody on Monday after another student reported he threatened her both verbally and with a pocketknife.
The OCSO said it has charged the teen with possession of a weapon on school property and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.
The victim said the boy told her he should kill her, “but it’s stupid,” and then is alleged to have pulled a pocketknife out of his waistband, opened it, and waved it under the table.
She said she felt threatened by his actions.
The suspect reportedly admitted to the school resource officer he brandished the knife, the OCSO said.
