On May 20, after completing an afternoon bus route transporting students home from Glymont Middle School, a school bus driver noticed that one of the bus seats had been damaged and appeared to have been sliced multiple times with a knife. The damage was reported to school administrators the following morning. On May 21, school administrators conducted an investigation and identified the student assigned to that seat. During the investigation, administrators located the student and recovered a large knife which was concealed in his bookbag. There is no information the student displayed the knife to other students; however, the investigation is ongoing. The student will be charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds. Additional charges may be filed pending the outcome of the investigation. The student also faces disciplinary consequences in accordance with the Charles County Public Schools Code of Student Conduct. Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact M/Cpl. Burger at 301-609-3282 ext.0475.
