Teton High School student arrested for bringing gun to school

DRIGGS — A Teton High School student was arrested Monday morning for bringing a gun to school.

“There was an interaction in the parking lot before school between two students,” Teton County Sheriff Tony Liford tells EastIdahoNews.com. “One of the students had a gun, and the other student called to let us know.”

Liford says the student who had the weapon was taken into custody and will likely be formally charged and arraigned Monday afternoon.

Teton School District 401 sent this message to parents:

“A safety concern at THS was dealt with by law enforcement and administration today. A firearm was found, the student was arrested and has been removed from school. Students are in class for the rest of the day, and have been informed of the situation.”

Liford stresses the incident remained isolated between the two students and detectives don’t believe the suspect planned to use the gun inside the school.
