A former student was taken into custody after being found with a firearm and drugs. The 17-year-old had previously been expelled and was not supposed to be on school grounds. Authorities say the teen was allegedly trying to sell drugs to current students.

The incident occurred when teachers spotted the individual on campus, prompting a school resource officer to intervene. The officer approached the teen near a sports field.

Further details about the arrest and charges are available from the Metro Nashville Police Department, who reported that the teen faces charges related to carrying a weapon on school property and drug possession.
