Florida Student Arrested with AR-15 and Ammo
A college student in Florida got in trouble for having a gun and lots of bullets in his dorm room.
The school found out because he ordered a big amount of bullets online.
The student said he likes to shoot guns as a hobby and didn't mean to cause any trouble.
He also said he didn't know his gun permit from another state wasn't valid in Florida.
The school has a rule that doesn't allow any weapons on campus, but the student brought his gun anyway.
He was arrested for having the gun on school property.
Constantine Demetriades, a 21-year-old senior at Rollins College, was arrested for having an AR-15 rifle and over 1,500 rounds of ammunition in his dorm room.
The college's security flagged his online ammunition order, leading to the discovery of the firearm and other related items.
Demetriades claimed he likes to shoot as a hobby and was unaware his New Jersey concealed carry permit wasn't valid in Florida.
Rollins College prohibits all weapons on campus, and Demetriades acknowledged knowing this policy but brought the rifle to campus anyway.
He was charged with possession of a weapon on school property.
