Police dog finds man’s missing gun on Robertsville soccer field

Posted at 4:51 pm December 27, 2012

An Oak Ridge police dog located a missing revolver in the grass on a soccer field at Robertsville Middle School early Friday morning, authorities said.

Leshawn Graham, 21, of Royce Circle in Oak Ridge, told police he had laid the gun down in the soccer field but could not find it, according to warrants filed in Anderson County General Sessions Court.

Police had been sent to the soccer field in response to a 911 call at about 2 a.m. Friday. Graham was located at the soccer field, and he allegedly had five .22-caliber bullets with him, warrants said.

Graham has been charged with carrying a weapon on school grounds, and he remained jailed on Thursday afternoon. His bond has been set at $10,000, and he has a court hearing scheduled for Jan. 18.
