A student at Sandy Creek High School was arrested last Wednesday for possession of a weapon on school grounds.

Derik Alan Dunlap, 17, was arrested by the Fayette County Sheriff's Department Wednesday around lunchtime, according to jail records.

Wayne Robinson, the director of secondary school operations for Fayette County Schools, said the sophomore had a box knife on his key chain. The knife was not used in a threatening manner, he added.

The punishment handed down to Dunlap was a 10-day suspension pending the results of a disciplinary tribunal hearing, which has been scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 20, Robinson said.
