LAKE CITY, SC (WBTW) – A student at Lake City High School has been arrested Tuesday after weapons were found in a car outside the high school.
Major Mike Nunn with the Florence County Sheriff’s Office says there is no threat to the school, but one student has been arrested after at least one gun, identified as a hunting firearm, was found in a car outside.
Florence School District Three spokesperson Brian Huckabee says the 16-year-old student was arrested after weapons were found in his car. Huckabee couldn’t release how many weapons or what kind of weapons the student was found with.
