CEDAR CITY -- A 12-year old Cedar City boy is facing charges of possession of a dangerous weapon on school grounds for allegedly arming himself for a fight.
The Spectrum reports a resource officer at Cedar Middle School arrested the boy Monday after students said he brought a BB gun on the bus.
He also was in possession of a knife stolen from the school's wood shop.
The boy told the school's principal he needed the weapons for a fight after school.
The boy has been suspended from school and faces two misdemeanor counts of possession of a dangerous weapon on school grounds and a Class B misdemeanor for theft.
School policy bans possession of weapons and look-a-likes such as BB guns.
