At roughly 7:30 p.m., staff chaperones at a Kenner Collegiate Vocational Institute winter dance discivered that a student had threatened several other students with a knife on a nearby trail.
The faculty located the students and took the suspect to an office; however, the boy refused to put the knife down. An officer arrived and asked the male to put the knife down. He did not comply until the officer pointed but did not discharge their Conducted Energy Weapon at the suspect. Officers were able to take him into custody without incident.
As a result of the investigation, a 14-year-old Peterborough male was arrested and charged with:
Possession of Weapon for Dangerous Purpose
Uttering Threats - Cause death or Bodily Harm
