Student brought gun to high school

A Three Springs High School student was arrested Wednesday after he brought an unloaded gun to school and left it in his car.

Students at the school told school staff of the gun, according to a district letter sent to parents. Cheney police identified the student as 18-year-old Garrett Stone.

A school resource officer and the school’s administrator got permission from the student to search the car. They found the .38-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun, a Cheney police official said.

“At no time were students or staff in any danger,” said Michael Dunn, Cheney Public Schools superintendent.

The student was cited for having a weapon on campus and for unlawful handling of a dangerous weapon, Cheney police said. He was then released.
