(Rock Hill-AP) May 7, 2005 - An 11-year-old boy was arrested this week for carrying ten nails in his pocket at a Rock Hill middle school and charged with carrying an unlawful weapon.

Dianne McCray, assistant principal at Rawlinson Road Middle School, asked the child Wednesday what was jingling in his pocket and the student gave her the 3.5" long nails.

A school resource officer arrested him. His father picked him up and he was not taken to the police station.

The father said the nails were left in his pocket after a Boy Scout outing. He says it is ridiculous that his son faces an unlawful weapon charge. He says the boy threatened no one.

He got busted for being a Boy Scout. I always knew that sort of thing comes back to haunt you

They must be proud that they arrested him! He could have used those nails to build a BirdHouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next I suppose keys and pens will be also viewed as weapons. To quote The Simpsons, "Take out your safety pencils and a circle of paper."

The boy later was released from prison and after making his own guitars and synths with shoeboxes,rubberbands and old commadores he created 10 Inch Nails which is on tour with the Lilith Fair.

OMG Hes has three nails...He could crucify someone....RUN AWAY!!!!

What is going on in the schools today...You can do just as much damage with a pencil as you can with a dagger yet pencils are required for children in school...Before long kids wont be able to wear shoes that have laces because they could strangle someone with them...I hope this kids parents get a damn good lawyer and bury the assholes at that school....
