School officials in Lone Grove, Okla., confiscated a student's cell phone, and now they may be in trouble with police.

Parents have gone to police to file charges of larceny against two school officials.

A student at Lone Grove High School took the phone to school and it rang in the middle of class, according to Oklahoma TV station KTEN. After the class interruption, the teacher confiscated the phone and took it to the principal's office. School policy is to hold the phone for five days, but the student's mother told the TV station that isn't good enough. Yvonne Walker wants her son to have the phone in case of emergency.

The 16-year-old's parents said they got the phone for the teen so that he could contact them -- saying that it's not helping him for school officials to have the phone.

When school officials said that they couldn't break policy or make special considerations for anyone, the parents called police. The officer sent to the scene filed a report, which is now at the district attorney's office for consideration of larceny charges.

"I understand that they need to discipline the kids and he was wrong, and he understands that he was wrong and he should be disciplined at home, and we will do that," Walker said.

The boy's father said that even though the superintendent said that he couldn't break school policy, parents and the student should have the right to go and pick up their cell phone.

Superintendent Gary Scott told the local TV station that the school board approves school policies in the handbook every year, and that school officials don't make exceptions to the rules for anyone. The policy says that wireless telecommunications devices are not allowed at school during school hours and that confiscated objects are kept for five days.

That policy has been in effect for two years. Scott said although they have taken away several cell phones, this is the first time police have been called.
