A King’s Fork High School student who allegedly brought a large knife to school Friday was taken into custody then released on a summons for possession of a concealed weapon on school property, according to city of Suffolk spokeswoman Diana Klink.

After a school resource officer assisted school administration in locating a truant student on campus, Nathan Brian Cunningham, 18, was found to have a concealed knife in his book bag, Klink stated.

“The knife was not displayed in a threatening manner and no students were injured,” according to Klink. “The knife was found to be over nine inches long.”

Cunningham was suspended from school and has been recommended for expulsion, school district spokeswoman Bethanne Bradshaw stated.
