Personnel at Drum Intermediate School don’t get it. After all of the slaughter in schools across the nation, security doesn’t seem to be an issue. Monday, a former student entered the building, dressed in a military police  uniform and carrying a knife in his pocket. The kid was given a hall pass and mingled with the children and teachers in the school. One teacher in particular allowed and even encouraged that this person be allowed to roam the building. That teacher is on temporary administrative leave.

The kid has a history of mental illness. He is a clear danger to the students and teachers of our schools. HE WAS WEARING CAMOFLAUGE AND CARRIED A KNIFE! HELLOOOOOO!

The school sent out a letter to the parents on Tuesday. Was that to cover their asses? From now on, only parents and pre-authorized adults would be allowed school access. It could have been too late. This was a situation that clearly endangered the children of the University Place community at Drum Intermediate.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Dept. is investigating suspect Antonio Codute-Farrison
for impersonating a police officer and claiming to be a member of the military. On
Monday November 2nd, 2009, Codute-Farrison was contacted by staff at Drum
Intermediate School in University Place. During school hours, Codute-Farrison
roamed the hallways and visited classrooms claiming to be active duty military; he
was seen wearing a black beret, a military Kevlar vest with a folding knife affixed
on the chest, a black long sleeved t-shirt with “POLICE” written on the sleeves,
military pants with an empty leg holster, and combat boots. Codute-Farrison has
been investigated for three similar incidents in Lakewood and Spanaway.
Antonio Codute-Farrison is NOT is member of the military or law enforcement. If
he is seen wearing any law enforcement apparel, immediately call 911.
