School security guard with gun arrested on the first day of school
Dania Beach FL Aug 18 2018
Law enforcement acting on a tip, searched the vehicle of a long-time school security guard and found a gun in his SUV.
The security guard assigned to Olsen Middle School in Dania Beach was arrested on the first day of school after that anonymous tip proved to be right.
Deputies found a gun in his vehicle upon searching the car on school property, according to an arrest report.
Nathaniel Strowbridge, 57, of Pompano Beach, was charged Wednesday with bringing a firearm on campus, a felony.
He is being held in Broward’s main jail on a $10,000 bond.
According to Strowbridge’s arrest report, a tip came in to the Special Investigative Unit reporting that Strowbridge carries a firearm on campus and “they don’t believe he is stable.”
At first, according to the report, Strowbridge denied having a firearm.
Florida law currently limits who may possess a firearm on school grounds even with a valid concealed weapons permit.
