School Safety

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office today arrested a former Niceville High School student found to have a handgun with a loaded magazine on school grounds in the outside area between Niceville High and Ruckel Middle School. An OCSO School Resource Officer took 16-year old Javarius Lee into custody on a charge of possession of a firearm on school grounds after he found a 9mm handgun in the student’s pants waistband around 11:15 a.m. The SRO had received a report that Lee, who no longer attends Niceville High, had previously flashed a weapon at a city park off campus. When he saw Lee, who lives in Crestview and no longer attends NHS, on school grounds he approached him, discovering the gun. The investigation also led to the discovery of marijuana during a vehicle search. Another 16-year old was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.
