Man Brings Gun To Prince William High School Event, Faces Charges

NOKESVILLE, VA — A 19-year-old Bristow man is facing charges after he allegedly brought a gun to a Prince William County high school event. Justin Michael Guerin was arrested last week for possessing a weapon on school grounds after officers working an after-school event at Patriot High School discovered a gun on his person, according to a police report.

At 8:16 p.m. Oct. 11, school security notified officers there was someone in the bathroom with a weapon. With the assistance of security, officers located Guerin, who initially told them the gun was in his vehicle.

Officers and security escorted Guerin to his vehicle, but once there, police said Guerin told them the gun was actually on his person. The gun was taken from Guerin, police said, and upon search of his vehicle, officers also found marijuana.

According to the report, the gun was never taken out of brandished at anyone. In addition to the weapon charge, Guerin also was arrested for possession of marijuana. He was released from jail on a $10,000 bond. His court date is pending.
