An 18-year-old Freedom High School student allegedly found with a pellet gun and drugs in his backpack hopes to enroll in a first-time offender program, according to court proceedings today. <\/p>\n
Khalid Webb now lives with his grandparents in Allentown. Webb waived his right to a preliminary hearing on charges of possessing a weapon in school, possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia during a quick court session before District Judge Joseph Barner in Lower Nazareth Township. <\/p>\n
Webbs attorney, Robert Patterson, said his client will enroll in the accelerated rehabilitative disposition program. <\/p>\n
If he successfully completes between six to 12 months of probation, Webb could walk away from the incident without any charges on his record, Patterson said.<\/p>\n
Webb was allegedly found with a pellet gun and marijuana on April 3 at the Bethlehem Township, Pa., high school. <\/p>\n
He also pleaded guilty today to disorderly conduct in connection with a separate case involving a high school student who struck a school resource officer after not paying for his lunch on March 29. Webb agreed to pay a $164 fine for his summary-level disorderly conduct charge. <\/p>\n
Webb said after his court appearance he intends to join the military, but his grandparents say his expulsion from Freedom High School has made things difficult. <\/p>\n
His grandmother said the justice system has been fair to Webb so far. She hopes the ARD program helps him move on. <\/p>\n
Jahad Crowell, 19, the student charged with assaulting the school resource officer, waived his right to a preliminary hearing Monday, setting the stage for the case to move to trial, according to court records. <\/p>\n
It was not clear if Crowell intended to enter or was eligible for the ARD program. A call to the person listed in court documents as his attorney was not immediately returned. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
