Teen Self-Defense Expert Expelled, Jailed, Kicked Out of Army Program, All Because of a Pocketknife
“I didn’t think anything of the Airsoft guns,” said Wiser in a statement. “Our school is a technical school, and I was planning on meeting with my Airsoft team after school. My stun gun was locked in the glove box, and the knife was in my EMT medical vest. I bought it at K-Mart and have it as part of my first responder kit for cutting seatbelts.”
The pocketknife violates the school district’s zero tolerance policy against bringing weapons onto school property — a class 5 felony.
For his crime, Wiser was carted off to jail for 13 days.
