Page County Sheriff’s Office announced a reminder to parents to have a talk with their children and encourage them to report any suspicious activity.

That came after school administrators were alerted to a student at Page County High School being in possession of a lookalike weapon on Nov. 4.

School administrators and School Resource Officers acted quickly to ensure that no student of staff members were in any danger at any time.

After consulting with the Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney Page County’s Sheriff Cubbage confirmed that appropriate criminal charges are being placed against the individual responsible for the look alike weapon.

Sheriff Cubbage reiterated that any pranks, hoaxes or look alike weapons will be met with zero tolerance by the Page County Sheriff’s Office and Page County Public Schools.
