On August 30, 2026, The Davie County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a past larceny report from 801 North in Advance. The victim advised he was at the Davie County Sheriff’s Office with the parent and the Offender who was a juvenile. The juvenile in question was the same juvenile who had been charged earlier in the week for possession of a fi***rm on educational property.
The Juvenile was interviewed with his parent at the Davie County Sheriff’s Office in reference to an incident that occurred on August 22, 2026.

Juvenile Charged Following Fi***rm Investigation at Davie High School

The Davie County Sheriff's Office has charged a 17-year-old male juvenile with possession of a fi***rm on educational property following an investigation at Davie High School.
On the afternoon of August 28, 2026, the School Resource Officer assigned to Davie High School received information that a former student had been on campus earlier that morning and was in possession of a handgun. The individual remained inside his vehicle in a campus parking area, displayed the holstered handgun to several acquaintances, and then left campus. No threats were made toward any student, staff member, or the school, and the fi***rm was never removed from its holster.
The School Resource Officer immediately reviewed campus video surveillance and confirmed the individual's presence on campus that morning. Investigators then located the juvenile at his residence, where he was interviewed in the presence of his father. The juvenile admitted to having the handgun on school property. The fi***rm was seized by deputies as evidence.
The juvenile will be charged in juvenile court with possession of a fi***rm on educational property, a violation of N.C.G.S. § 14-269.2. Because the subject is a juvenile, no identifying information will be released, and juvenile court proceedings are confidential under North Carolina law.
At no point was there a threat to the broader school population, and normal school operations were not interrupted. The Sheriff's Office is not seeking additional suspects in this matter.
