A 10-year-old student was arrested for threatening three other students with an 8-inch knife he brought into Boggy Creek Elementary School Thursday morning, the Osceola County Sheriff's Office reported.

Three elementary students told deputies that on Wednesday, they were playing basketball with Iseiah Roberts and began arguing. Roberts threatened to bring a knife to school and cut their throats, the children said.

The next day, Roberts began arguing with the same groups of boys, threatening them with a knife he said he had brought. When they did not believe him, he lifted his shirt and showed them the knife.

A school employee called law enforcement at 9:45 a.m. Thursday. Based on the information deputies learned, they arrested Roberts for three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon as well as possession of a weapon on school property. He was taken to the Osceola County Juvenile Detention Center.
