Weapons Charges Against 10 year old Boy

A 10 year old Detroit boy accused of bringing an unloaded handgun to school was charged with a number of weapons violations in Wyane County Family Court.  The incident occurred on January 20, 2010, when another student saw the boy with the gun in a bathroom at Brewer Elementary/Middle School and told a teacher. The teacher took the gun.

The juvenile pleaded guilty last week to possession of a weapon in a weapons-free school zone.   The Wayne County Prosecutor issued a release today that a concealed weapons charge and a charge of minor in possession of a firearm in public have been dropped.

This is a little more than a case of “boys will be boys.”
