On 1-24-2020, at approximately 1000 hours, Lakeport Police Department School Resource Officer Ryan Cooley observed an adult male subject on the campus of Terrace Middle School who appeared to have a folding knife hanging from the front of his beltline. SRO Cooley made contact with the male subject to check the status of the knife and the subject’s authorization for being on campus. During further investigation, the officer determined that the subject, identified as Michael Richard King of Lakeport, was illegally in possession of a knife on campus and had no authorization, nor legitimate purpose for being there. King was subsequently arrested for possession of a weapon on school grounds, possession of a controlled substance, possession of approximately ½ pound of Marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. King was booked into the Lake County Jail on these felony and misdemeanor charges where he remains in custody on $15,000 bail.
