An elementary student in Marion County was arrested Thursday after school officials found her cutting food during lunch with a knife that she brought from home, police said.
The 10-year-old girl, a student at Sunrise Elementary School in Ocala, was charged possession of a weapon on school property, which is a felony.
According to authorities, school employees spotted the girl cutting her food while she was eating lunch and took the steak knife from her.
The girl told sheriff's deputies that she had brought the knife to school on more than one occasion in the past.
Students told officials that the girl did not threaten anyone with the knife.
The girl was arrested and transported to the Juvenile Assessment Center.

That’s pretty bad when you even get agreement with FR from DU.
If the school says they are then toothpicks will be put on the
list of dangerous weapons.
What can you do but shake your head with disbelief?
I can just see their 'happy dance' over one more innocent person getting a felony weapons rap, so they can be stripped of their 2A rights.
Disarming America, one phony felony arrest at a time.
A ten minute difference in posting times and the posting police are out in full force. How sad that some people have nothing better to do with their time than harass others over something (duplicate threads) that will not matter in the grand scheme of things EVER.
Fer cryin’ out loud, we might as well cut off their hands and feet and pull all their teeth.
Make that 3; I'm going with you guys.
"It's time for sanity to return to America. If you elect me president I promise to pardon all the kids who have been arrested or punished because of the stupid people running our schools who use no brains in implementing so-called zero-tolerance policies."
T-60 second. Get in, Motley, we’re about to launch.
Make that T-MINUS-60 Seconds.
What’s going on?
The inmates are in charge of the assylum.
And it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
But I’ve read the end of The Book. God wins. It’s not even a real contest. Just an object lesson for all Creation.
We had permanent archery targets in a big vacant lot, BB gun 'fights' in the woods (no eyes ever shot out, maybe a couple of bruises), and toy guns that really did look real ('Lytle' I believe) and I was on top of the world because I had a real live '03 training rifle...
All that and lead paint too.
I remember carring a pocket knife to school every day. I don’t remember anyone totally freaking out over us boys having them.
Now-a-days people hyperventillate when a child brings a GI Joe sized plastic pistol to school, like he or she is gonna massacre the entire student body and teaching staff with that dangerous weapon.
But that is just what the socialists want, us panicing over nothing, which they say is something. Grow up people, get a spine and slap these people down and take back our country and our schools
Ahh, memories! The fish belly white, sticky, crunchy rice!
Next day, when they put the left over crap into the "hedgehogs", it was STILL crunchy, and the hamburger balls it was in were genuine vulcanized Goodyear rubber. Didn't really matter, because the brownish-grey plasti-glue sauce made it inedible anyhow.
At least I never got the mashed potato SKINS that were served at my wife's high school.
They didn’t make soup out of the leftovers like our public school does?
Save you some trouble. Our ship is leaving from the lower pasture at 3 AM Monday. Hint: It is disguised as a silo, and has room for 12 couple in comfort; 2 more, if they don't mind sleeping in the control chairs.
We've been planning this for some time; just needed the right companions.
The hamburger hedgehogs WERE the leftovers, rather than soup.
You know; those largish meatballs, with the rice ‘prickles’ sticking out of them, then smothered in ‘Swedish’ sauce?
A real hedgehog would probably taste better.
I hear you.
No doubt.
Nothing more was said about the subject, but I am extremely thankful that this happened almost twenty years ago instead of in the current wacko environment that has engulfed our schools.
