Give And Steak

A 10-year-old Florida girl faces felony weapons charges after bringing a small steak knife to school to cut up her lunch.

School officials say the Ocala 5th grader had brought a piece of steak for her lunch, and had brought a steak knife. According to the report, a couple of teachers took the utensil and called authorities, who arrested the girl and took her to the county’s juvenile assessment center.

"She did not use it inappropriately. She did not threaten anyone with it. She didn't pull it out and brandish it. Nothing of that nature," explained Marion County School
Spokesman Kevin Christian, who added that it made no difference what the knife was being used for, they had no choice but to call police.

The girl now faces a felony charge for possessing a weapon on school property and has been suspended from school for 10 days.
