An 18-year-old student of the Owen Valley High School was arrested on May 13 after the police found a pistol in his vehicle in the school's parking lot.

He told the investigators that he received the 9 -mm gun as a final gift.

Jordan A. Gerste von Spencer is charged as a crime for the possession of a firearm on school. Barley had a first hearing from Owen Circuit Court for May 15th.

The police alerted after social media post

In a press release of a sheriff office by Owen County it says that on the morning of May 13, the school resource official was drawn to a social media post who points out that Mr. Barley was on the property of the Owen Valley High School and a pistol was hidden in his front waist. “

The officials quickly removed the barley from a classroom and asked questions. After that, according to the press release, a 9 -mm gun was recovered from the console of the front seat centers from barley cars. He was brought to Owen County's prison and booked.

“The security of other students or employees was not caused by any threats,” says the press release.

According to an affidavit in the case, the police accompanied the police in the first class of the day from a classroom to the lounge of a teacher, where they showed him the photo from social media. She read his Miranda rights to him and he agreed to speak to them.

“According to Mr. Barley, he received a pistol as the final gift of his uncle and forgot that it was stuck in his waist when the photo was taken.” Since the photo was taken outside the school, he was “asked why he would own the firearm on school”.

Gereley claimed that he had forgotten that the weapon left in his covenant when he went to the student at 6 p.m. on May 12th to help a classmate to have problems with the car. The picture was then taken, he said.

The police recovered weapons, bullets from the student picking up

Barley told the police that the unloaded weapon was in his Chevrolet pickup, and from there they brought them together with a holster, a box with 9 -mm balls and two loaded magazines, one in the center console and one in a clip under the steering wheel.

The girl who took the photo said she did not know that barley had a gun on herself when he helps her car. She cried and angry when a deputy interviewed her and said she had posted the photo on social media, “without the intention of making Mr. Barley trouble”.

A male student in the photo said that he knew that barley had the pistol on him and that he “often carries the pistol about himself, but did not really think about that it was on the school premises because it was after the normal school lessons.”

Both students said they had “never threatened or intimidated by Mr. Barley, according to the affidavit.
