According to a release from the Police Department, Jacorbri Demetrius Moon of Alexander City was taken into custody in the early morning. He was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, criminal trespassing and giving false information to law enforcement.
Capt. Chris Carden, operations commander for Sylacauga P.D., said Moon was dropping off a student at the school.
“He went into the lunchroom with [the student],” Carden said. “Some members of the faculty noticed him and knew he wasn’t a student so they approached him.”
The release stated Moon was then escorted to the school office where the police were called.
The trespassing charge stemmed from the suspect giving a false name to the school and to police. This was a violation of the school’s guest policy.
“He gave a name different than his own to police,” Carden said. “Upon further questioning and after going through procedures, they determined his real identity.”
Police also discovered an unloaded pistol in Moon’s possession. Carden said he was not aware of a prior police record for Moon.
City Schools Superintendent Renee Riggins praised the school employees for being proactive.
“They’re very observant of the students,” she said. “They know the students that attend that school and when they see someone out of place, they act in a hurry. I think they did a wonderful job of keeping the students safe.”
Riggins said Moon was related to the student he was dropping off.
Moon was taken to police investigations for questioning. Carden said it was not determined why the suspect carried a weapon onto school grounds or why he gave a different name.
The charges against Moon were all misdemeanors. He was later released from the Metro Jail on $3000 bond.
Student Services Coordinator Kelly Lakey said school faculty must always be aware of safety concerns.
“We have contingency plans in place on what to do in different incidents,” she said. “In this situation, the teachers did exactly what they have been trained to do. They prevented what could have been a much more serious situation.”

Next you say this : " However if you break one of them I will put you in my new ASP handcuffs and provide transportation to the jail.
Your own words fullfill this definition: authoritative
c.1600, "dictatorial" (a sense now restricted to authoritarian),
This is the reason that I talk negativly about the police because most every one(police officers) are beside themselves with a bully thug attitude and cannot deal with the authority that has been placed upon them. It is obvious when a tipping point takes place because of the economic distress and panic is a reality that you have made your choice on which side of history that you are going to stand. The men that wore the badges of the gestapo made that same choice also. You do not know me but you know my words on this comment board.
Finally these are your words: "No thanks BG, I dont need to prove anything to anyone.
I guess you don't have to prove anything to anyone do you ??? Look at your name here on the comment board : PUBLICSERVANT . If you do not know it already, your own words have convicted you, as you are answerable to the public by your words and deeds.(who pays you your money?)
BG your words below are most excellent and well spoken and I will finish with your words.
Just my thoughts.
I am a APOST certified police officer, I have a degree in Criminal Justice, and Accounting. I'm not a prosecutor how every I was an ADA for a couple of years. I've crossed paths with Larry a couple of times but nothing work related. Never seen Darryl before..
The facts are this a Alabama State Law was broken. A police officer did his job and upheld the law and put the man in jail for a judge to decide his fate. If you have a problem with the laws that our in place then maybe you should run for a state office and change them.
Tallchick49: One of my professors summed it up best with a simple statement.
"You can not argue with stupid"
No Darryl I will not post my real name. I do alot of my work putting white collars in jail for putting their hands in the cookie jar a bit to much. Of course none of them are guilty
As for the name thing, notice my monicker? I feel it necessary not to use my real name because I have relatives who work with the city, and given some of my comments (whick will continue) their livelihoods would be in jeopardy. Would, not could, be. Vindictive behavior seems to be a requirement in many places--politics, city jobs (which are eaten UP with politics)--OK, just about any work place you can name. My opinions are my own, but I won't allow them to hurt my family and friends inadvertently.
I'm hardly a coward, but I'm not a complete airhead, either.
My name is Jason Edwards. I really don't care what you or anyone else thinks of me or my opinion. I speak out because it is my right and I enjoy it. It turns out that JEdwards, Jason Edwards or any other "handle" concerning my name is already used on most of the places that I visit. Must be more than just one of me in the world, can you imagine? I chose my "handle" so that I could use the same everywhere and not have to remember all of the numbers that would be added to the end of my name and the numbers would be different at each site. Really lazy of me, huh?
I just wanted to clear that up. You really don't know why everyone chooses to do what they do, you just think you do, don't you, or do you?
Sorry, there I go again feeling like I need to justify myself to another somebody.
Darryl, are you another one of those people that aren't considered by some as "responsible"? Do you blame everyone else if you get a ticket, behind on bills, etc.? As quoted by you, "As far as the phoney name goes most will lie when under duress or scared". Judging from this, I would assume that you may be of similar character. Most of us were taught to not do things that would get us into trouble. If we choose to do them anyway, we deserve what we get. Do you disagree?
Thank you for your comments.
Barefoot Driving: Operation of a motor vehicle by a driver with bare feet is permitted. Exception: motorcycle rider. So therefor your are correct in the locamotion rules in your comment.
As far as the school campus firearm restriction goes , the schools are federal if they are public schools and Sylacauga High School falls under federal laws and mandates. You are correct. Thanks for you comment
Also, isn't the firearm restriction on school campuses a FEDERAL law?
authoritative
c.1600, "dictatorial" (a sense now restricted to authoritarian), from authority (q.v.). Meaning "possessing authority" is recorded from 1650s; that of "proceeding from proper authority" is from 1809.
Secondly I do have children not "kids" as kids are baby goats. Thirdly ,dismissing the actions of 4 men who caused the death of another human is something that has already occured and is tragic verses someone who had an unloaded pistol in his pocket (trivial). According to the article the man went straight to the office with escorts , so sensationalism is what is being perveyed here.(What is going to happen when rocks and sticks are "illegal") Using bible speak " You strain at a gnat and swallow a camel". Authority is going to get the best of most folks soon if folks do not start paying attention to what the right hand is doing and not watching the left. Thanks for your comment
And who, in their right mind, is going to bring a gun (loaded or not)to a school? And why?
And why the phony name?
Hmmmm...something to think about.
Everyone Know when the POLICE tell you to stop.. YOU STOP.. When the POLICE tell you to show me your hands.. YOU SHOW THEM YOUR HANDS..
DARRYL DAVIS, I'm all for second admenment. But how about you take a concealed weapon in a post office or federal building.. remember its an open carry state....
Darryl tell us alittle about your self? exmilitary,police, reporter oh yeah Larry Bartons shadow
Well i know of at least 4 apost certified men that have made the paper lately that could have toted a gun on school property: one from Childersburg, one from Pell City and 2 from Lincoln so how safe are we with these protectors and servers??? Secondly if anyone and I mean anyone was to strap on a gun and walk around Talladega, Sylacauga, Childersburg or anywhere else in one of these little municipalitys and Mr. police man sees it what do you think will happen??? So I am not quite the idiot that you think that I am as i am standing for my rights which are being taken away daily. I have said it before and I will say it again :" We are in a Police State " and I know this is true because cops did not draw their weapons and shoot people so easily in the past as I am old enough to remember. We've lost our humanity and at the rate that people are going to jail for victimless crimes soon we are all going to be living in a prison ,,, well that is all but the police and the courts and the polyticians.
