Steve Rea, a physics teacher at Plymouth High School, attended a school disciplinary meeting Wednesday for bringing a BB gun into the building on Jan. 30.Police were called to the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park after a mother reported the teacher had carried a long gun into the high school in Canton Township.
About a dozen police cars were seen in front of the building as officers searched the school complex.The physics teacher stopped the search when he realized the BB gun locked in a closet in his classroom had caused the scare.Rea reportedly took the gun to school to use it as part of a physics experiment, according to police.School officials would not discuss what punishment the teacher potentially faced.
