I didn't harm nobody. You're in possession of a firearm. I understand. Where did you get the gun? On March 10th, 2023, Avero Beach High School teacher received a handwritten note concerning an 18-year-old sophomore student who was bragging about having a loaded gun in the classroom. The teacher immediately notified the on-campus Deputy, who eventually called for backup. Where's the backpack? Supposedly in here. I thought during the investigation it was noted that the student also bragged about having bigger guns in her backpack. The principal, along with a deputy, surrounded the classroom to retrieve the student. Yeah, well, we're close. Yeah, we're closer to Edmond than we are in the middle. We're going to ask you a few questions, Romeo, okay? That's what he said. So, that's uh, you're good. And yesterday, I remember when I was in there checking bags in your math class. Today, it was reported that you attend the backpack. I said what I'm being told because okay, that's what you understand. That's

what people were saying. Yeah, yeah, and that's why I don't want to do it in the classroom. So, it's obviously, you know, we got to do what we got to do. Okay, come on, get in here. Do you recall? Did you ever make a statement like that yesterday that maybe someone you were messing around and somebody said this all to heard it? They never seen it. Okay, can I see your backpack? You have anything else on you that you shouldn't have on you today? Could you empty your pockets out for me? Is because I'm checking. I'm checking everything. Then empty your pockets. I don't know. Huh? Empty your pockets or you're going to be okay. I smell weeds, but that I was not. I'm listen. I'm just explaining to you that I'm doing a safety check. No one's accused you of anything. The last words because we have a serious allegation because we are going to search you. Okay, because I don't feel this is necessary. It was other kids in the classroom. Stand up. Wait, wait. Why? Because I'm

telling you to stand up, stand up, okay. [Applause] But why are y'all searching? I told you once, oh yeah, okay. I'm gonna step out for a second, stop, and we'll step out, okay. But come on, [Applause] come on, son of a... that's my wallet, this guy. Tell him signal zero, we're by Yankee. Oh my God, is this necessary? Yes ma'am, yes. Sit down, I'm gonna step out back with Mr. O'Keefe just for a second. I didn't harm nobody, you're in possession of a firearm. I understand that, I understand it was received. It doesn't matter if anybody's harmed, you're not allowed to possess a firearm, period, let alone on school grounds, okay. I'm gonna redo your Miranda, okay. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can you do, huh, okay. Right now, listen to your rights, okay. I want you to tell me whether you understand them or not, okay, cool. You have the right to remain silent, okay. Anything you say can, it will be used

against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have your lawyer present with you while you are being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you. Before questioning, if you decide to answer questions now without a lawyer present, you still have the right to stop answering at any time and speak with a lawyer. You may use any of these rights at any time during the interview. Do you understand the rights that I've just read to you? Okay. Do you want to answer questions? Yes. Yes. Okay. What are you doing with a handgun on school grounds? Why were you carrying it around on school grounds? Because I understand that as people out of school ground that likes to board with people, and I felt like I was being bullied by certain people on school ground. Okay. Where did you get the gun? Did you steal it from? Did you require it from somebody else? So how did you get it? Yeah. [Applause] How long have you had the gun?

how many times have you brought it to school first. I swear today's the first. Yes, yesterday. It's a Ruger, not a count back. It looks just like a Celtic Sean. It was. It has a magazine with bullets, and there was one in the chamber. It's going to be a transport, right? Yes, sir. Oh yeah, you can make a phone call when you get to the Edinburgh County Jail. The county jail? Yes. Are you serious? Yes. I want to tell you why there. You have something from your office, so it's a very serious nature. So they're gonna have to do this until it gets worked out. You're walking around in school with a gun with buttons hurt, sir. I don't care. It is a felony to have a weapon on school grounds. Plus, you were a juvenile, or did you turn 18? I'm 18. You're 18 now. Okay, so you're going to the county jail. Okay, serious? Yes. I can't even recall. Can you call my mom for me? We will call her.

Well, you could call her from the jail once a day. I never bought it yesterday. I swear I never bought this. You may not have. I just, we just got a chip, and I told you when I got you out of the classroom. I have to look at all tips, whether it's weapons, guns, whatever it is, weed. I didn't bring those, okay? Let's smell it, that's all, yeah. And, uh, but when we asked, stay up to your pocket. You, you know if you refuse, this is what happens. So if I would empty my pockets, I would never do this. No, well, you still would have been arrested, but you don't have to go through all the anguish. Just, you know that when you're in my office with deputies, and you know you have something, that's the best system. It's not going to get any better. I don't want to know. I just want to know what's so, just like I told you. You're gonna go to the county jail, okay? You're under arrest right now for possession of a weapon on school grounds. It's a felony.

Okay, so you will. We're getting a transport unit here. You're going to be transported to the county jail. Okay, at that time, you will be able to use the phone and booking. Yeah, I'm a Sprint to call whoever you'd like us, ma'am. Yeah, who do you live with? Just curious. Your mother. Does she know you got one? She's 18. I think we'll eventually on my end contact your mother. Can you please? Well, that's right, the law enforcement right now. She will know when you contact her at the gym right now. Right now, you are 18. Okay, you're an adult at this point, so we don't have to follow the same things that we would with the juveniles. Okay, so when you get to the county jail, you can call Mom. Yeah, it's in her bag. It's in her bag. It's a lip gloss, I think. What about your jacket? Do you want to keep that on or you? Yeah. Do you have any other jewelry on? What about your belt? Yeah, Alicia, are you in fear of anything?

[Music] For anybody at school that you're worried about. I mean, yeah, it was, but it didn't, not any longer. I don't know, I don't know my Apple watch, please. Um, kids was trying to, like, they was messing with me and my sister. And I, um, it was, uh, a couple of girls. But, well, we'll get right now. We just want to make sure that I think we're doing everything that we can. And now, were you worried that the these girls were gonna attack you with weapons? Yeah, they always seen how they gonna do this swimming with my sister. And I just, the suspect was charged with three serious felonies, including possession of a weapon on school grounds. The mother of the suspect argued that her daughter was innocent and claimed that the officers had not properly executed their duties. Leave a comment below. Do you think the officers properly did their job?
