The
Crestview High School student arrested on gun charges Tuesday by the Okaloosa
County Sheriff’s Office is identified as 17-year old Jonathan Blayne Boals of
1005 Martin Luther King Ave, Apt. 3-B.
Boals is charged
with possession of a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm on school
grounds, possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent, and disruption of
a school function.
A School Resource
Officer says Boals had not made any threats. Boals told investigators he had no
intentions of harming anyone. He says he had the weapon with him because he’d

The investigation is
continuing.
