A 17-year-old high school student has been arrested after being found in possession of a firearm in a Montgomery County school.
On Tuesday, Jan. 11, high School staff came into contact with a male student who had a strong smell of marijuana.
Staff escorted the student into the main office where he consented to a self-search, and during that self- search, staff discovered a loaded handgun and marijuana.
The student was separated from the firearm and school administration called police.
Montgomery County Police were dispatched to Wheaton High School at approximately 1:55 p.m.
Once police arrived, he was placed under arrest and transported to the Wheaton District station.
Berniz Garza-Mayorga of Silver Spring was charged with multiple weapons offenses and transported to the Central Processing Unit, where he is currently being held.
Not to worry, help is on the way.
