Suffolk County Police today arrested two teens following a dispute during which one of them brought a knife to school in Lake Ronkonkoma today.
A 15-year-old male displayed a knife at his bus stop and was met by staff members as he exited the bus at Sachem High School North in Lake Ronkonkoma. The knife was recovered, and police were notified. The teen was arrested and charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon 4th Degree.
A further investigation by Fourth Precinct Crime Section officers determined that the 15-year-old had previously been threatened by a 15-year-old male in July. That teen was also arrested and charged with Aggravated Harassment 2nd Degree.
Both teens were released to the custody of their parents and will be arraigned in Family Court on a later date.
A criminal charge is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
