Moore Junior High School Student Arrested
A 14-year-old Moore junior high school student has been arrested after weapons were found in his school locker. Moore police say the 8th grader at Highland East Junior High student was arrested Tuesday morning when long knives and a pellet gun were found in his locker. The school Principle alerted police after students spoke up.
“I have known him forever, he is a really good guy, he wouldn’t hurt anyone, I can’t see him hurting anyone,” 8th Grade student Amber said.
In a letter sent home to school school staff explained to parents how the weapons were reported to police, adding that there did not appear to be any intent to cause harm and no threats were made.
“The issue here is regardless of what the intent was, the crime was committed,” Jeremy Lewis with Moore Police said, “We are hoping there was no intent, that’s still under investigation, we will find out why they were brought to school and why he had them.”
Police have not said where the boy got the weapons from but that they will be interviewing the boys parents.
The student is facing a felony charge for possession of a prohibited weapon specifically for one of the long knives.
Police say he was taken to a juvenile facility in Norman where he will likely be bonded out of jail.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- A preliminary hearing for two brothers accused of killing four women in Tulsa could resume soon.
The Tulsa World reports (http://bit.ly/16X0EnM ) a judge is expected to rule on a request that could determine whether James and Cedric Poore's hearing will resume Friday.
Their hearing stalled Thursday after the defense filed a motion to recuse the judge assigned to the case.
Special Judge Stephen Clark denied the motion, as did Presiding Judge William Kellough.
Kellough is expected to rule on the defense's request for time to appeal on Friday morning.
The Poores are charged with murder and robbery in the January deaths of Misty Nunley, Julie Jackson, Rebeika Powell and Kayetie Melchor. The four women were found tied up and shot in the head.
The Poores have pleaded not guilty.
