PINECREST, Fla. – A South Florida man was arrested for bringing a gun onto the grounds of a Miami-Dade high school.

According to police, 19-year-old Ethan Duey was taken into custody on Wednesday for having a gun on the property of Miami Palmetto Senior High School in Pinecrest.

Police said the gun was inside his vehicle, which was on school property.

Duey was arrested and taken to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

He is facing several charges, including possession of a firearm on school property and aggravated assault with a firearm.
