A 17-year-old online student from the Auburndale School District was arrested for possessing a firearm in a school zone.
Authorities say Alden Jensen brought an AR-style .22 caliber rifle onto school property but later moved it to a nearby residence. Deputies found ammunition in Jensen’s vehicle and the firearm at the residence. No threats were made, and Jensen claimed the rifle was in his car after teaching firearm safety over the weekend. He remains in custody at the Wood County Jail.
