Teen Arrested For Stabbing At Erie Lanes Bowling Alley

The “Teen Night” event at the bowling alley, where Mayor Michael Nutter bowled with teenagers in an effort to stop the violence, had just ended when several hundred teenagers were released in groups before heading home.

Not exactly what the Mayor was hoping for would be my guess.

During Maxey’s arrest, police recovered a small retractable knife blade from his home. Maxey is charged with Assault, Simple Assault and Terroristic threats.

Terroristic threats? Really? Assault and Simple Assault? Really? How about, Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon? How about Attempted Murder?

I guess he’s just a misunderstood “yout” and will straighten out fine with a little counseling.
