A 17-year-old was arrested Friday morning after police say he carried a knife onto Glen Burnie High School and attempted to start a fight with a student. Anne Arundel County Police say school employees and a school resource officer were standing near the cafeteria during a lunch transition when a fight broke out between the teenager and another student. The administration and the SRO were able to separate the parties and realized that one of the teens did not belong in the school.
