MERIDIAN, Idaho — At approximately 1 p.m. on Wednesday, a Meridian High School student was taken into custody by the Meridian Police Department following "an incident in the school's parking lot."
Officials with the West Ada School District and Meridian High School are assisting law enforcement in their investigation. The school did not go into lockdown, and the district says that the campus remained secure "throughout the incident."
A statement from the Meridian Police Department says a concerned citizen reported the actions of a student who was off campus at the time, triggering a police response. When the student returned to the school parking lot, officers determined the student had weapons in their vehicle.
The student was ultimately arrested and booked into the Snake River Juvenile Detention Center.
