Dear Liberty,

Earlier today, Thursday, March 7, the Liberty Central School District was informed that an adult community member was arrested for allegedly possessing three legally owned firearms in a vehicle while on school property earlier in the day. It is illegal in New York state for members of the public to possess firearms while on school-owned property. Liberty police arrested the individual off school property following the arrest of another adult in the same vehicle on driving while intoxicated charges.

The adult did not have the weapons inside a school building, and at no time was there any threat of violence made toward any staff or student in the district. Liberty Police Department will issue its own communication on the arrest.

Sincerely,

Dr. Patrick Sullivan

Superintendent of Schools
