CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A man was arrested Wednesday night after bringing a gun onto a school bus.

Milton Staton, a parent of a student at Lincoln Heights School – a school for students who have had discipline problems elsewhere – was charged with possession of a firearm on school property.

Police began investigating the case in February after a mother reported it to her daughter’s school.

Police said they interviewed the bus driver and a security officer who was also on that bus, and they don’t believe the man threatened anyone.

Deputy Police Chief Lisa Mangum said the man agreed to leave when the bus driver told him to get off, but that’s when she saw the gun and the holster he was wearing.
