FAYETTEVILLE - A Fayette County High School student was arrested Tuesday for taking a machete on school property. <br> <br> Frank James Gelman Jr., 17, was arrested after a police officer working at the school noticed the machete in the back of Gelman&#39;s pickup truck. <br> <br> Fayette County Board of Education&#39;s ``zero tolerance&#39;&#39; weapons policy bans anything that can reasonably be considered a weapon on school property, school officials said. <br> <br> The teen&#39;s father, Frank Gelman Sr., said it&#39;s a misunderstanding.
