NEWPORT — An 18-year-old was arrested at Newport High School’s homecoming football game on Friday for bringing a dangerous weapon onto school grounds.

Pend Oreille County Sheriff Alan Botzheim said the weapon turned out to an Airsoft pistol which realistically replicated a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol. Jonathan D.J. Hodge was charged with possessing a dangerous weapon in a school facility.
