Marijuana and a loaded gun were found in a Shelbyville Central High School student’s SUV Tuesday by Shelbyville police.

K9 Trigger and Officer Brock Horner detected marijuana in the vehicle belonging to Jaylin Jontae Love, 18, of Buffalo Valley Court, after School Resource Officer John Cooke said he smelled the substance during parking lot patrol.

A search by Cooke and SCHS administrators turned up a backpack containing 76 grams of marijuana and a loaded Smith & Wesson 40 caliber handgun, Horner’s report said.

“The way the marijuana was packaged is consistent with drug resale,” Horner said.

Love allegedly had $405 in his clothing when searched by Cooke.

The marijuana, gun, and cash were confiscated.

Charges of possession of a schedule 6 drug, possession of drugs in a drug-free zone and possession of a weapon on school grounds were filed against Love. He posted $15,000 bond.

The girl is charged with assault on an officer, assault, aggravated assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
