Student Gets Felony Weapons Charge For Fishing Supplies

Chitwood was charged with carrying a weapon in a school safety zone, which is a felony in Georgia. “The cop and the administrators, they basically told me, ‘You’re going to be in a lot of trouble,’” Chitwood said. “They were pretty nice, but the K-9 unit guy wasn’t really very nice.”

The campus officer and administrators did allow Chitwood to turn himself in instead of making a scene of him. He turned himself in on September 18th and was released later the same day after posting bond of $1,000 plus $320 in fees.

Chitwood and his parents have hired an attorney and think that the charges are “pretty ridiculous,” claiming his parents think the same. He could face two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if the district attorney decides to prosecute.
