Student found with guns and knives at school.

[Ricky]

It's pretty out of the ordinary for something like this to go down in my county. Not many times you hear down here of students bringing any weapons to school. This kid must just be a plain idiot.

A Riverdale High School student was arrested after Lee County deputies found five guns, two knives and several boxes of ammunition in the student's car parked in the school parking lot.

According to deputies, a teacher received a tip over the weekend that a student had a firearm while driving on campus during a weekend event at the school. The tipster gave the teacher a partial license plate number, but didn't have the student's name.

The tip eventually led school administrators and the School Resource Officer to meet with student 17-year-old Michael Boyko.

Monday at 9 a.m., administrators and the SRO asked Boyko if he had anything at school he shouldn't have. He replied, "Yes. A lot," according to deputies.

School leaders and the SRO went with Boyko to his vehicle.

Inside, administrators and the SRO found a knife and gun in the back seat, a knife and a Taser in the door. Two magazines with ammunition were on the passenger seat, according to deputies.

In the trunk were two long guns and two duffle bags. In one of the bags were boxes of ammunition, two loaded handguns, several knives, a ski mask, gloves and a large set of bolt cutters, according to deputies.

There was also a half filled bottle of vodka and a case of beer in the car, reports said.

Boyko, of North Fort Myers, was charged with 5 counts of possession of firearm on school property; 2 counts of possession of weapon on school property; 1 count possession of burglary tools; 5 counts of possession of firearm by a minor; 1 count possession of alcoholic beverages by a minor.

Boyko's neighbors weren't surprised by the arrest.

They say their North Fort Myers neighborhood has been under a barrage of gunfire.

"Gunshots going off on weekends, during the week, in the evenings, like target practice," said one neighbor.

They say sometimes as late as 3:00 a.m., they would hear gunfire coming from Boyko's home.

"I've come up to the gate and seen him in the back of the house shooting," said a neighbor.

Boyko has been transported to the Juvenile Assessment Center for processing. At this point, it is unknown what he planned to do with the weapons in the car.

Gun? I'm surprised.
Knife? Eh, not so much.

Coming from Australia, it's not normal, but not unbelievable for someone to carry a machete around in their bag or something.

The 5 charges however are just redundant.

[Pwnm30rdi3]

I wonder..

How do you come up with the money for all those weapons? That has to be expensive! It doesn't sound like he is in a rich neighborhood.

Not amazing by my area a 14 year old got arrested for carrying a skinning knife in his backpack "cuz of the bullies"

Last year at my school a kid shot himself in the stall, he was carrying a shotgun, 2 pistols, tons of ammunition and a bunch of molotov cocktails.

 

[team mw]

at least he didnt kill anybody.

 

[maverick2]

wow trhats all i can say

 

[Pwnm30rdi3]

I carry a small 3" knife with me most everywhere I go for personal protection. I don't haul a small army around though, that's just nuts.

We've had people bring a lot of knives to school, and they usually wind up expelled from all schools in the county. I've yet to see anyone bring a gun to school, he probably just carried it around in his car for the sake of having on in their for his own amusement, or protection.

Yeah at times i wished i carried a knife around, dont want to be racist but the lebs an islanders in australia are a massive threat. If you got an iPod or even nice shoes they would roll up an hit you up for either money, your phone, iPod or all of it, you just have to hit the legs (run your ass off) but there always seems to be 3 massive units, and 1 skinny chaser in every group lol.

I never personally have been rolled, but yeah when i was younger i used to carry a small knife in my bag too an from work. I got pulled up by the police one day on a random search on the train, and coz i use it for cutting apples/mangos/tomatoes ect for lunch at work, and it was clear there was all the fruit juices on there they let me go.

Guns in Australia cost too much to be rocking around, you cant find a decent one for under $4,000, then you got to look for bullets + your looking at hard time if your even found with one.. Fuck that not even worth the risk, unless your a drug dealer lol.

At least they caught him before he did anything.
