Teen Spends 13 Days in Jail for a Pocketknife in a School Parking Lot

“‘There are all these school occurrences where people are shot, people are killed by other students,’ the prosecutor, Harold Specht, said. ‘We see it every day … so we don’t take these things lightly. … We have to be sure that we don’t have a potential for something like that to happen here.’ Jordan Wiser said he’s offended by Specht’s characterization. ‘I was enlisted in the Army and went to school to be [a] police officer and fireman,’ he said. ‘Why are they trying to paint me as a potential school shooter? I never had any intentions of hurting a soul.’ ‘Never in my life did I think this would happen,’ Wiser said. ‘I dedicated my life to public service, and now a four-inch pocketknife could ruin everything.'”
