An 18-year-old Lakewood High School student is facing charges after police say he brought a machete to campus– and hid it in a trombone case.
(FOX)- A St. Petersburg school resource officer arrested Dequan Maybell on Wednesday.
He told police he brought the 28-inch machete to school because he was going to do yard work immediately after school.
The officer said Maybell concealed the machete inside a trombone case in the band room.
Another student discovered it when they were going to use the instrument.
Maybell is charged with possession of a weapon on school property.
