Boy, Doug Funnie got off easy. All he had to do when he doodled in class was stay after school and clean everyone's desk.
Also, from the article:
I don't know whether to laugh or facepalm.

I've seen things similar to that. I drew a guy standing on a roof back in high school in my planner, they searched my locker and found it, they then called my mom telling her they had reason to believe I was suicidal. I had to meet with a psychologist a couple of times before she figured I was fine and let me stop visiting her.

I remember, when I was in junior high, i put names of bullies as enemies in Unreal Tournament.
I would have been in solitary confinement by now.

I have electronic parts in my apartment. I also have a whole load of household cleaners, bleach, and lighters. And I'm in college! Uh oh...
*sigh*
I had a friend in middle school that ended up getting in trouble because he told someone that the steeple in the church he was in looked like a scene in a Bond movie where someone hid a sniper. That's it. Boom. Expelled.
Sometimes there is such a thing as overreacting.

And I thought it was bad for me in high school in '98 when I got accused of being on heroin for taking a nap during lunch in my car. If they saw my doodles, they would've shipped me to Cali and send me to Acasadero with Herb Sewell. It wouldn't help that my doodles were inspired by R Crumb and Sergio Aragonés (I think is was Serg who did the margin doodles in the old Cracked magazines).

Hmmm....attention and further investigation needed, yes. Apprehension on the spot? No. A discussion with the young man could have satisfied and answered a lot of questions and saved a lot of police man hours/$. Further the embarrassment the kid and parents faced will have long-term psychological effects. Kids at school will nail him with labels the second he shows back up and harassment will ensue. What happens if that harassment coupled with his reaction to this incident, slowly eats him up, he then can't cope and on the worse end, actually ends up doing harm to himself or classmates. All because a knee jerk reaction by a teacher or administration who were too afraid to do the easiest thing and just ask him and continue talking to him.
