On Monday, September 13, 2022, a student at Choctawhatchee High School was taken into custody after a classmate reported that he threatened her verbally and with a pocketknife.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has charged the 15-year-old with possession of a weapon on school property and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

According to a report from the Okaloosa Sheriff’s Office, the victim says the suspect told her he should kill her “but it’s stupid“, then pulled a pocket knife out of his waistband, opened it, and waved it under the table. She says she felt threatened by his actions.

The male student admitted to the School Resource Officer that he did brandish the knife.
