Cops: Student Charged After School Finds 'Hit List'

A Lacey Township High School student was charged with criminal mischief after he allegedly wrote what police described as a ‘hit list’ on a desk.

Police were called in on Tuesday, Feb. 28 after the juvenile had written four names on the desk. But the names appeared to be the student’s friends.

He was charged with only criminal mischief because the incident appeared to be a joke, police said.

The school district did not say whether he was suspended because they do no comment on student matters, school board president Jack Martenak said.

Superintendent Dr. Sandra Brower was not immediately available for comment.
