Police arrested a former student at a Pembroke Pines high school after he was allegedly caught on campus with a gun and bullets.
Security personnel at Charles W. Flanagan High School allegedly saw the former student trespassing on campus just after 9 a.m. Thursday. They contacted police.
As officers approached the teen, they recognized him as Major Charneil Byrd.
When Byrd spotted the officers, investigators said he began to walk toward the school’s main building.
One of the officers apprehended the 18-year-old by grabbing his backpack as he was walking away.
While handcuffing the subject, one of the officers noticed one of his hands was inside his pant pocket. While searching the teen’s waistband, the officers retrieved a Glock 19 9 mm gun with a 31-round magazine containing 11 bullets.
Police said the teen refused to answer any questions. He was then placed under arrest.
It remains unknown what Byrd’s intentions may have been.
The teen is being held on $1,100 bond.
