On November 9 at 2:12 p.m., school administrators and the school resource officer at St. Charles High School were alerted to an altercation. One of the students involved, a 17-year-old male, walked out of the school to the parking lot and called a friend to reengage in the altercation with him.
The friend, a 28-year-old male, arrived and attempted to enter the school but was stopped due to the secondary doors to the school being locked and a school administrator approaching him. The school resource officer located the 17-year-old male, who was walking back toward the school from the parking lot, and found him to have three knives.
Another student, a 16-year-old female inside the school and associated with the altercation, became disruptive. A different school resource officer on the scene approached her, so she struck the officer and spat on him. She was arrested without further incident.
The 17-year-old student was charged with possessing weapons on school property and disrupting school activities. The 16-year-old student was charged with assault and disruption of school activities. The 28-year-old was found to have marijuana and was issued a civil citation.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Officer Thompson at 301-609-3282 ext. 0434. The investigation is ongoing.
