Teacher Charged With Having Gun On CampusA Johnston County teacher’s assistant has been charged with having a gun on campus on the first day of school.
Fredrick F. Foreman, 24, of Smithfield worked at the new McGee’s Middle School. He also drove a bus.
The gun was in Mr. Foreman’s car, Johnston County Sheriff’s Capt. Dale Wheeler said.
"Somebody walked by the vehicle, saw the handgun in between the seats, the front seats, and they reported to the SRO, School Resource Officer," Capt. Wheeler said.
The SRO, Wayne McLendon, was contacted at West Johnston High School where he works. Deputy McLendon spoke with Mr. Foreman and charged him with possession of a firearm on school grounds.
Capt. Wheeler said while the charges are serious, “it’s a felony in North Carolina to poses a firearm on school grounds,” Mr. Foreman did not behave in a threatening manner. “It was not like he was out there showing it around,” he said. Mr. Foreman was released on a $5,000 unsecured bond.
