Probe Launched into Taser Gun Confiscated at Sleepy Hollow High
The incident reportedly occurred two weeks before local police were notified about it.
A female student was found with a taser stun gun while at Sleepy Hollow High School last month, but local police were not notified about it until two weeks later, reports The Journal News.
No one was injured, but Sleepy Hollow police and the Westchester District Attorney’s office are now investigating the incident, and why it took so long to report it to authorities.
The taser was discovered on Oct. 15, but district officials are not disclosing much information. Police were notified about it on Oct. 30.
