Remember that 14-year-old kid Jared Marcum who insensitively wore an NRA shirt with a firearm motif to his school in Logan, W.Va., right after the spate of school shootings this year? Controversy erupted, and Jared was arrested and suspended. A judge has now officially charged him with obstructing an officer, meaning the boy faces a maximum sentence of $500 and a year behind bars. According to prosecution documents, the arresting officer claims that Marcum hindered his ability to do his job. But Marcum's lawyer, Ben White, says there's no mention of threats or any violent action in the officer's report and that he will continue to seek to have the charges dismissed. [Source]
