ZANESVILLE, Ohio -- A 14-year-old middle school student has been charged with delinquency counts of inducing panic and disorderly conduct for bringing a squirt gun to school this week.
Muskingum County Juvenile Court officials have not set a court date yet for Deondre Crosby, who was suspended for 10 days after school officials and police found a black squirt gun in his locker on Monday. He was charged yesterday.

The boy's mother has said he forgot he had the squirt gun in his coat pocket and put the toy in his locker. She said the incident has been blown out of proportion and that police shouldn't have been called to investigate.

The Zanesville district has a zero tolerance policy for guns in schools and locked down the middle school after another student reported seeing what looked like a gun being put in Crosby's locker, authorities said.
