Anderson mother arrested for bringing gun to child's school

ANDERSON -A 27-year-old Anderson woman was arrested after police say she took a loaded handgun to her child's school.

Anderson Police arrested Bonnie Trahan on Wednesday morning for possession of a firearm on school property, a class D felony. Police say Trahan brought a loaded .40 caliber Glock to the meeting.

Administrators at Saint Mary's School on Pearl St. in Anderson alerted police after a meeting with Trahan in the morning. They say Trahan, who was meeting with the school principal to discuss a matter between her eight-year-old child and another student, told school staff that she felt her son wasn't safe at school.

During the meeting, which included Trahan, her child, her brother and two school administrators, she referred to the fact that she was carrying a gun before pointing to it in her back pocket and saying how easy it was to bring a gun to school.

This woman broke the law, she got arrested. Gravity works, rain rains, and the universe continues functioning as anticipated.

Like laws against speeding, smoking pot, robbery, etc and so on. Make a law against those and when they don't prevent all such crimes make more laws. Or something like that.

I guess we just like adding more criminals to jails.
