Detectives
charged a high school student for bringing a gun to school on Tuesday and for
assaulting an officer. The suspect is 17-year-old Xavier Matthews of the 2000
block of Iverson Street in Temple Hills. He is charged as an adult.
On
September 26th, around 9:25 am, a School Resource Officer at Potomac
High School was notified by a teacher that a trespasser was inside of the
school. The School Resource Officer located Matthews who was last seen with the
trespasser. While interviewing Matthews, he assaulted our officer and was
arrested. During a search, the officer recovered a gun from Matthews. Out of an
abundance of caution, school officials placed the school on lockdown.
Officers
were able to quickly identify the juvenile trespasser. He was seen on surveillance
video leaving the school and the lockdown was lifted.
Matthews
is charged with assault and for carrying a handgun on school property.
He’s being held on a $5,000 bond.
