Louisiana High School Student Arrested, Hid Gun in His Wheelchair

Kids these days can be creative if nothing else. A 17-year-old high school student at Woodlawn High School in Louisiana was arrested on Wednesday after it was alleged he hid a gun in the cushion of his wheelchair and brought it onto school property.

The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office, which made the arrest, has identified the student as Kevin Evans III.

The school's principal said she was notified of Evans' handgun by another student.

Evans was then called to the principal's office, and a Glock with an extended magazine was found in the cushion of the wheelchair.

He also said that he had been threatened since previously being shot and scared for his life, according to EBRSO.

Evans was arrested and charged with illegal carrying of a firearm, carrying of a firearm or dangerous weapon on school property and firearm-free zone.

Not-So-Nice Nicknames for 10 Louisiana Towns

Nicknames are a wonderful thing if you happen to be given the right one. That's the problem with nicknames, you don't get to pick your own. So, depending on the kind of people you hang out with your pseudonym is either a flattering referral to a trait you own. Or it's a sarcastic reminder of your shortcomings. The same rules apply when it comes to the nicknames we use for the communities we love. Although, from some of these nicknames, I'm not sure I can feel the love tonight, or any night for that matter.
