FT. MEADE, Md. — A 17-year-old student faces charges for allegedly carrying a gun near Meade High School.

Before 4:30pm, the School's Resource Officer was tipped off about a streaming video that showed a student walking near campus with a gun in his waistband.

The student in question was soon located at a shopping center near Annapolis and Ridge Roads in possession of a Polymer 80 - 9mm handgun.

The teen also had approximately 320 grams of suspected marijuana on him at the time.

After some resistance, Anne Arundel County Police say the student was taken into custody.

In a letter to parents, Principal Ryan Durr said there was no indication the student had the weapon in school or that any fellow students were threatened.
