Also on Friday, deputies dealt with a separate report of a possible weapon that was pulled during a fight on the campus of Pine Ridge High School in Deltona.
"During a search of a student's backpack, deputies recovered a replica Glock BB gun," the sheriff's office said in the Facebook post. "The 16-year-old student violently resisted deputies and attempted to fight them, but was taken into custody on charges of campus disruption, resisting an officer with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer."
Residents reacted to the news on social media.
"Thank you to the brave students who reported and VCSO for responding," wrote one person. "Parents...you must be parents and not your child's best friend (that should come after they become adults). Parents, you are not helping these types of situations."
