15-year-old arrested for bringing weapon to Harrison Central High denied bond reduction

A 15-year-old arrested earlier this month after he brought a loaded gun to the Harrison Central High School campus was denied a bond reduction.

According to our media partner the Sun Herald, the teen was denied bond reduction after the judge heard testimony that the boy had brought the gun to school the day before he was arrested.

The student was arrested August 5th and is charged as an adult. He was in court Wednesday to ask for a reduction of his $10,000 bond.

Authorities say the gun was loaded and found in the waistband of the boy’s pants.

Harrison County Detective Nickolas Pennington searched the teen’s phone and found photos he had taken posing with the .45 caliber semiautomatic handgun in locations around the campus.
