LOUISVILLE, Ky. —

A convicted felon was arrested outside of a Jefferson County Public School on Tuesday for having a gun on the property.

An arrest slip said that 30-year-old Dillon Sutherland was outside of Atkinson Elementary looking into vehicles when a staff member reported him. The slip said when an SSO approached him that Sutherland reached for something in his right pant pocket, which the SSO said was a gun.

According to the arrest slip, the SSO pinned Sutherland against their vehicle and retrieved a loaded handgun.

Sutherland is being charged with an unlawful possession of a weapon on school property and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. The first offense is also a felony in Kentucky.

Sutherland is set to be arraigned in court on Wednesday.
