Charges Forwarded in Threats Investigation at Creekside Elementary School

In the afternoon on February 24, 2023, a patrol officer assigned to the School Resource Unit was notified by school staff at Creekside Elementary (7500 E 6th Avenue) that a knife had been brought to school.  Through the investigation it was determined that a student had brought a knife to the school and verbalized threats to harm another student.  Several other students heard the threats and saw the knife; staff were notified by at least one student.

Both the suspect student and the student’s father were contacted.  The knife was seized, and charges were forwarded to the Division of Juvenile Justice.  There were no injuries.

APD is grateful for those who came forward.  Parents, please talk to your children and encourage them to contact a trusted adult anytime they see or hear anything they think could be harmful to someone else.
