NC: Gun found in vehicle on Forbush High School campus; student arrested

 

A Forbush High School senior was charged by police for bringing a loaded firearm onto school grounds.

The shotgun and ammunition was located in the vehicle of the student.

The discovery was made late Friday morning during a random drug blitz of Yadkin County schools by the Yadkin County Sheriff’s Office and a slew of K-9 officers with the North Carolina Department of Public Safety.

In the school parking lot, deputies surrounded the blue Jeep while school officials ordered the student assigned to the parking tag displayed on its visor to report to deputies.

The student, Desmond Stefon Barrett, 17, informed authorities that he had used the gun to shoot and hunt. He said he knew the shotgun was in the car, but forgot to take it out.

“You know me,” said Barrett, pleading to school officials and deputies. “You know I would never hurt anyone and this was a simple mistake. I didn’t want to be late for school and I didn’t know what to do.”

  1. Fortunately, "law enforcement" chose to ignore the 4th Amendment and conduct a "random drug blitz". This courageous unconstitutional action undoubtedly saved lives by preventing the assault weapon from loading itself and shooting hundreds of innocents in seconds.

  2. Grew up in farm country and students would come to school in their pick-ups
    with rifles attached to a gun rack in the truck. Is this still allowed?
    This was the norm.

      Absolutely, but the world has gone crazy since then.
