CONWAY — A Kennett High underclassman was taken into custody by Conway police at the school Friday morning after he brought a CO2 airsoft pistol into the building. It appears the juvenile was selling the gun and did not intend to harm anyone with it.
“There wasn’t a direct threat to any individuals at this time,” Superintendent Kevin Richard said by phone Friday afternoon.
Clearly inappropriate to bring to school for obvious reasons. However, arrest seems to be an overreach were as article states NH has no regulations if there are no regulations I sincerely doubt there is a law. I am sure CPD charged under another offense. This kid will undoubtedly have a stain of his record for life even if only law enforcement is privy to that information. Perhaps a stern warning, a talk with parents, and a lecture to the student body would work. In school discipline totally acceptable.
