Steven Michael Carrera, of the 1300 block of Morreene Road, was charged with possession of a concealed weapon, possession of a handgun by a minor and felony possession of a weapon on educational property.
Deputies said Carrera refused to answer questions and would not say why he had the weapon or where it came from.
