Authorities say a father went to Kendale Lakes Elementary School on Thursday to pick up a firearm he accidentally left in his 8-year-old son's backpack.
Ramon Nuiry was arrested after the incident took place. According to Miami-Dade Public Schools, he now faces numerous, weapons-related charges.
"Earlier today, Miami-Dade Schools Police arrested a parent after he forgot to remove a weapon he had stored in his child's backpack. There is no evidence that the child ever removed the object from his bag," MDCPS said in a Thursday statement. "The isolated incident was quickly handled by school staff and police, resulting in no disruption to the school day."
Nuiry bailed out of jail early Friday morning, records show.
Charges include possession of a firearm on school property.
