NICEVILLE, Fla. — The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) today arrested a former Niceville High School student found to have a handgun with a loaded magazine on school grounds in the outside area between Niceville High School and Ruckel Middle School, according to an OCSO press release.
An OCSO School Resource Officer took 16-year-old Javarius Lee into custody on a charge of possession of a firearm on school grounds after he found a 9mm handgun in the student’s pants waistband around 11:15 a.m., the release said.
The SRO had received a report that Lee, who no longer attends Niceville High, had previously flashed a weapon at a city park off-campus.
When he saw Lee–who lives in Crestview and no longer attends NHS–on school grounds he approached him, discovering the gun.
