A Rutherford County high school student has been arrested for allegedly having weapons on campus.
James Evans with Rutherford County Schools said the incident was addressed Wednesday morning at Oakland High School.
Evans said the school found a knife, a BB gun and an airsoft gun in a student’s car. He said the airsoft gun also contained 22-calibre ammunition.
That student was expelled from school and arrested for having weapons on campus. His or her identity was not released.
All students were reported safe.
Evans released a statement to parents, reading in-part:
"Please know that student safety is our first priority, which is why we conduct various drills throughout the school year to practice for these types of situations. The faculty and administration at the school handled the situation quickly and followed our safety procedures.
Again all students are safe and we are sending this message to keep you informed."
