Grand jury clears student in gun case

A Clarendon High School student who brought a gun to school was cleared of any wrong doing last week.

District Attorney Stuart Messer said a Grand Jury no billed CHS senior G.J. Martindale last Tuesday.

“The case is over with,” Messer said. “[Martindale] will have no criminal record from this.”

Martindale’s shotgun was found in his vehicle October 3, 2000, during a random search by drug dogs. The young man had become ill while hunting the night before and had forgotten the gun was in the vehicle when he went to school.
