ROCKPORT – Camden Police and the Knox County Sheriff’s Office are investigating a March 6 incident whereby a Camden Hills Regional High School student allegedly took a weapon onto school property, possibly a few months ago.

The incident was reported to School Superintendent Maria Libby early this morning and she immediately contacted Camden Police, said Camden Police Chief Randy Gagne.
