‘Ottawa’ After-school Fight in Pembroke Results in Weapon Charge
Ontario Provincial Police have laid charges against a minor in Pembroke after another student was attacked with an “edged weapon” after school on Monday.
According to police Friday, a fight took place between three students at Fellowes High School in Pembroke around 3 p.m.
One of the three allegedly brandished an edged weapon — although police are not saying whether it was a knife — and threatened one of the other students in the melee. The fight ended shortly after. None of the teens were injured.
After investigating, OPP laid charges against a 16-year-old whose identity cannot be disclosed because he is a minor.
The teen is facing charges including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, uttering threats and assault with a weapon.
The youth was also charged with Breach of Probation under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. He was held for a bail hearing on Wednesday and remains in custody until his next appearance at the Ontario Youth Court of Justice in Pembroke on Oct. 4.
