ESCAPIST UPDATE - May 12th, 2007
POLICE INVESTIGATE GRADE SCHOOL HARRY POTTER RPG - Students involved in a "mystery suspense Harry Potter role-playing game" invoked a police investigation when a "threatening note" was found in a student's backpack.
Officers and teachers searched backpacks of students for weapons or contraband, and turned up more of the game-related notes. No threats were made to the school, staff, or any students not involved in the game.
"After the investigation was complete and the true nature of the situation was determined, it was obvious this was not a police matter," (Police Chief Richard St. John) said.
Despite the misunderstanding, the students may face disciplinary action.
