On Tuesday, February 28, 2023, students at Diggs Elementary School notified school staff that another student, age 9, was in possession of a knife and had made a threat to harm a classmate.
The knife was recovered by school administrators. The school resource officer (SRO) initiated an investigation.
The student cannot be charged in this case due to his age; however, the SRO has notified the Charles County Department of Juvenile Services as a matter of recordation and to offer services as needed.
The Charles County Public Schools are handling the case administratively.
Anyone with information is asked to call PFC Miedzinski at 301-609-3282 ext. 0668.
