No charges will be filed against an Avonworth Middle School student who authored a note that caused concern in the district this week.
According to Ohio Township Police Chief Beaver Micklos, a school bus driver found a piece of stationary containing the “Death Note” logo. Death Note is a Japanese anime series about a high school student who discovers a supernatural notebook -- the Death Note -- that gives him the power to fight evil by causing the death of anyone whose name is written in the notebook.
The names of several Avonworth Middle School students were written on the paper, along with the name of teen pop star Justin Bieber, according to Micklos. The paper did not contain any threats against anyone, however, he said.
The Avonworth School District released the following statement regarding the incident: “The Avonworth School District takes all measures to ensure the safety of students and staff...The Avonworth School District is working in corporation with the Ohio Township police department and crisis intervention personnel to ensure a safe and educational environment continues.”.
