MIAMI — A 33-year-old South Florida mother is facing a felony charge after authorities said she brought a gun to her daughter’s school.
Officers with the Miami-Dade Schools Police Department arrested Apolonia Crumpton on Tuesday at Miami Northwestern Senior High School, located at 1100 NW 71st St. in Miami’s Liberty City neighborhood.
An arrest report states that Crumpton, of northwest Miami-Dade, was at the school due to her daughter being involved in a fight.
Based off a statement by Crumpton that was redacted from her arrest form, which described her as an “irate parent,” officers were led to believe she was in possession of a weapon.
After searching her bag, officers said they found a black 9mm firearm and ammunition inside.
Crumpton was charged with one felony count of possession of a firearm on school property.
As of Wednesday afternoon, she was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center with bond listed as “to be set.”
