Claiborne County sheriff’s deputies on Thursday arrested two juveniles at Port Gibson High School after receiving a tip that a teenager had a gun at the school.
Claiborne County Sheriff Edward Goods said both juveniles were arrested about 2:30 p.m. in the high school gym. One had a stolen handgun tucked in his pants and faces charges of possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a weapon on school property.
The other juvenile had marijuana and a knife in his book bag and faces charges of having a weapon on school property and having drugs on school property. Both juveniles will have a hearing on the charges next week in Claiborne County Youth Court.
Good said the case remains under investigation.
