Rochester boy pleads guilty to school-knife charge
A Rochester teenager accused of bringing a knife to school this fall and threatening a group of students has pleaded guilty to two felonies.
The 17-year-old was sentenced last week in juvenile court to 14 months probation.
The boy was accused of pulling out a knife in Century High School on Sept. 21.
The Post-Bulletin reports the boy pleaded guilty to possessing a dangerous weapon on school property. He also pleaded guilty to making terroristic threats for violating a court order to not make contact with a victim of the incident.
