MARGATE, FLA. (WSVN) - A young man faced a judge after, police said, he brought a gun to a high school campus in Margate.
Jalen Lindo appeared in a Broward County bond court on Wednesday, one day after the 18-year-old was arrested.
Investigators said the suspect brought a loaded gun and knife that had a blade longer than four inches to SunEd High School, located along Banks Road.
School staff said the gun had five rounds of ammo. They called police immediately.
While those in court cited his clean criminal history, the charges he’s facing are serious.
Lindo faces charges of possession of a firearm on school property, carrying a concealed firearm and interfering with school administrative functions.
“Court does find probable cause,” said the judge.
He was told once he bonds out of jail, he can not return to school.
It remains unclear whether Lindo was a student at the school or whether he randomly appeared on campus.
The school told 7News they had no comment on this case.
