On Tuesday, April 5 at 9:30 a.m., a school resource officer was made aware by a staff member at Billingsley Elementary School that two students were in possession of box cutters.
The staff member observed a group of students congregating and noticed one of the students holding a box cutter.
Subsequently, a second student was found to be in possession of another box cutter.
An investigation revealed a third student brought the box cutters to school and provided them to the students.
The students are 9, 10, and 11-years old. The case was later presented to the Charles County State’s Attorney’s Office who referred it back to the schools to handle administratively.
