When Owens returned to school a short time later, he smelled of marijuana and was searched by school administrators and deputies, who found a loaded Hi-Point JHP .45 caliber pistol, authorities said. No one was hurt.
Owens was charged with possession of a firearm on educational property and was being held in the Durham County jail under a $5,000 bond. He is also on probation for a Sept. 19 conviction of breaking and entering into a vehicle and larceny, according to the sheriff's office.
