Student Caught With Knives At Richard Montgomery High School

ROCKVILLE, MD — A senior at Richard Montgomery High School was charged for allegedly bringing knives to campus, but administrators didn't report the incident to the school community, a report from ABC7 says.

The report says Carlos Ruben Castillo Jr., 18, was found with three knives at the school on Friday, Feb. 23. He was charged with having a dangerous weapon on school property and concealing a dangerous weapon.

Administrators called Castillo Jr.'s mother, who picked him up from school. But, according to ABC7, school officials never alerted parents or students about the arrest.

The incident occurred two days after Alwin Chen, 18, was arrested for bringing a loaded gun and knife to Clarksburg High School.

Castillo Jr. is scheduled to appear for trial in Montgomery County District Court in Rockville on March 27.
