 Two Floyd County middle school students have been charged with felonies after bringing knives to John M. Stumbo Elementary School last week. Sergeant Kevin Shepherd with the Floyd County Sheriff's Office is the school resource officer and he says that he and school personnel took action as soon as they were made aware of a possible situation. Once I got there we were able to talk with a student and students and concluded that there was a knife that was on campus. Within a few short minutes of being notified or finding out the knife was on campus myself and some school staff was able to locate the knife. A second student was also found to have a knife in her backpack a short time later. The school went ahead and followed their policies and procedures on what they would do as far as the students being disciplined on their end. On Friday I was able to obtain charges on both students. Today actually the charges was officially signed so now it's just a matter of court data for the students. Both students are female, 13 years old, eighth graders. This is something that the Sheriff's Department and the Board of Education, Floyd County and staff won't take lightly. These are both felonies, an unlawful possession of a weapon on school property and the other charges are terroristic threatening third degree. But these will have consequences. I know a lot of students take these things lightly thinking they won't follow them down through their career in their life but they do. They have a long lasting effect on you. No word yet from Floyd County school officials as to whether or not the students will return to school.
