In re Victor R. (123 A.D.3d 458, 2014)

Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Sidney Gribetz, J.), entered on or about July 12, 2012, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent upon his admission that he committed an act that, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crime of possession of box cutters in a public place or on school premises, and placed him on probation for a period of 12 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The court properly denied appellant’s suppression motion. School officials received information that appellant had made a threat, involving the use of a weapon, against a fellow student. The threatened student provided first-hand information that met the standard of reasonable suspicion applicable to school searches (see Matter of Gregory M., 82 NY2d 588, 592-593 [1993]), “particularly in light of the urgency of interdicting weapons in schools” (Matter of Steven A., 308 AD2d 359, 359 [1st Dept 2003]).
