Called in our police and they had a small private chat with him for 2-3 minutes on how to treat the trauma team with respect. Found a .22 derringer the same way a few years back...built right into a belt buckle.
Could have done a good amount of damage had he used it despite the blade being only 1 1/2 inches long.
