News: High School student arrested, charged with bringing a gun to school.
Really fucked up news: There's no gun. Police searched him and the school, and found no gun. Nobody reports having been threatened with a gun. Nobody has any evidence that he had a gun at any point. They're pressing charges anyway, based on "witness reports that led police to believe the boy had brought a gun to school at some point."

Normally I'd say this has no chance in court, but since it a) is in the States, and b) involves a high school and a gun, it might.
