Luke Hayden Colwell, 17, Barnesville, possession of a weapon in a school zone, buildings, grounds or function and possession of alcohol at school: Sounds like something that should have been in the news.

Kimberly Lynette Rawls, 42, Barnesville, shoplifting and possession of meth: Did she shoplift WHILE having meth on her? Meth really is a hell of a drug then...

Bet old Luke had his hunting rifle in the truck, along with a Natty Lite left over from the weekend. Tell me I'm not right!!!

"Sounds like something that should have been in the news."

It is in the news. How you think you know about it?

In case you haven't noticed we live in the country and it's hunting season. Most of the high school boys probably have a "weapon" in their truck this time of year. You have to remember even a pocket knife is a weapon to the schools. Yes I do think they should make sure our schools are safe but they also go alittle overboard sometimes. Anyone that knows Luke would know that if something was left in his truck it was just him forgetting it in there from the weekend.

In case you haven't noticed, a high-powered rifle is a no-no on school grounds. Where have you been? And to be exact he isn't even old enough to legally possess alcohol (forgotten from the weekend). He is not even old enough to purchase or possess a long gun or even ammunition. Teachers and administrators certainly don't want a student on campus with immediate access to alcohol AND a rifle. I mean what if his girlfriend OR boyfriend were to upset him or he fail to pass a test....???

Since Columbine, things aren't the same. If some boy is STUPID enough to bring a high powered rifle to school then he might be CRAZY enough to use it. Especially if alcohol is involved. Adults can't control themselves when drinking, why do you think a MORONIC teenager can?

Back in the day I knew boys that would go hunting before school, get out of their stand, throw the rifle in their truck and go to school. I had a gun rack in my truck and usually had a rifle or shotgun in it. That was at aprivate school and 20+ years ago

#8 Anonymous on 12/03/11 at 05:24 PM

You can have a rifle in your vehicle as long as it is on a gun rack. He had the rifle behind the seat thus making it a concealed weapon. If you're dumb enough to do that along with having beer at school you deserve to go to jail!

#9 Amber clark on 12/04/11 at 08:22 AM

How can you say he isnt old enough to purchase a long gun for your information you only have to be 16 and the school could have cut him some slack it is hunting season

#10 Crononymous on 12/04/11 at 11:50 AM

Amber, I can say that because federal law states that one must be 18 years of age to purchase a rifle or shotgun or ammunition. State law states that weapons, especially firearms, cannot be brought onto school grounds. Why should he be given special treatment?

#12 The Obvious on 12/05/11 at 01:09 AM

Any person who may legally own a firearm may carry a firearm in their home, place of business, and vehicle without a permit. Georgia does not differentiate between concealed and open carry except that long guns must be carried openly if they are loaded and you do not have a permit. Now saying that it is a state law that under no circumstance is a firearm allowed on school premises, unless possesed by a form of law enforcement. State law also requires you to be 18 to own ANY firearm in the state. And you must be 21 to LEGALLY purchase one. You also have to be 21 to buy o possess alcohol. So just so ALL of yall understand he's a dumbass and deserves what he gets. NUFF SAID

#13 Sarah Willis on 12/05/11 at 07:33 AM

I love how everyone talking badly about Luke is "Anonymous". It is perfectly understandable that when we are dismissed from school by noon every day, we don't think about what is in our vehicle... especially on a Monday morning during hunting season! It would have been a different story if he had the intent to harm someone, but when he was questioned and searched he had no problem with handing the keys over and telling the truth. The boy likes to have a good time. He knew he was wrong and admits his ignorance. Yet, in no way should he be labeled a "moronic" criminal.

#14 Anonymous on 12/05/11 at 08:32 AM

Wonder why he was questioned and searched? Do they ever question and search boys from the hood? Bet they would find more than a rifle and empty beer can, but then again, we wouldn't want to stir up any trouble with the folks from the hood.

It's that Austin guy! He is rude and hateful! i will be glad we he and Truby is long gone.

#16 Not the only school on 12/05/11 at 12:03 PM

Read the rules! Other schools have the same policy. Just cause you don't agree doesn't make it safe.

#17 Anonymous on 12/05/11 at 01:03 PM

The Fourth (4th) Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures by federal law enforcement agents. The Fourteenth (14th) Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America imposes the 4th Amendment upon the states and to law enforcement agents within the states.

Police are not responsible for advising you of your rights to refuse an illegal search. They are not required to tell you if and when they can make a permissible search.

The purpose of a search is to uncover and expose evidence that can then be seized by the police. The purpose of a seizure is to acquire evidence that can then be used against a defendant to prosecute that defendant for committing a crime.

If the violation of a person's expectation to privacy is reasonable, then the search is permissible. A reasonable search can occur with explicit consent or implicit consent. If a person is asked if they may be searched and that person then responds affirmatively, consent has been given to the search. That type of search would be a search by explicit permission - that type of search is reasonable. By giving consent, the searched person no longer has a reasonable expectation to any privacy.

If contraband, paraphernalia, a weapon, or some other piece of evidence or if criminal activity is "in plain view", an exception to consent arises under the law. That type of voluntary exposure allows the police to view the article without a search. Since a search is not needed to view something "in plain view", then there is no violation of a person's reasonable expectation to privacy. To put it another way, the law assumes that if the person intended that which was "in plain view" to be kept private, then he or she would not have placed it in a position where it could be easily viewed by anyone.

“?” Reasonable Suspicion

“?” Probable Cause

So you're saying just because he likes to have a good time he should be able to break the law? That makes you even more ignorant then him. He screwed up, he admitted to screwing up so really it just comes down to making a mistake, and in this world sometimes a mistake can screw you for life.

Luke would never fail a test....

#20 Sarah Willis on 12/06/11 at 07:34 AM

Dear Anonymous, never once did I say that he should have the ability to break the law nor did I refute the claim of his faux pas. Regardless of your ad hominem attack toward me, who died and made you preacher? No summoned your anonymous words of wisdom and if you'd like to continue, I'd appreciate a name to associate them with.

#21 Crononymous Pickit on 12/08/11 at 05:04 PM

Hmm... nice Google-enhanced dissertation.

#22 Crononymous Pickit on 12/08/11 at 05:25 PM

Dear Sarah, everyone has free will and thus the "ability" to break the law. Most of us do not exercise that ability because generally we tend to do the right thing..... and who wants to suffr the consequences? As you travel further in life you will learn that you may very well be judged by the company you keep or the MORONS YOU DEFEND!

#23 Sarah Willis on 12/10/11 at 07:06 PM

I love anonymous, immature adults who believe their wisdom has become more plentiful with age.

#24 cats on 12/11/11 at 07:10 AM

Hmmm. Does anyone else think that the more you defend a person here, the more attention you bring to the act that got him arrested in the first place?
My feeling is that if my name showed up here, I would hope you folks would read it, laugh at me for a second, then move on with your lives.
I sure wouldn't want my boo-boo discussed ad nauseum.

#25 Anonymous on 12/11/11 at 08:32 AM

You are correct- Sarah has made this situation much worse for poor ole Luke.

#26 Sheila Tolley on 12/12/11 at 11:43 AM

He needs to keep his rifle in his pocket.

#27 Sarah Willis on 12/12/11 at 01:17 PM

I'm glad you all know how Luke feels. I'm quite positive he's fine with my defense

#28 Anonymous on 12/12/11 at 05:16 PM

Yea- but now everyone in town is talking about his arrest and your defense of him. If you had said nothing, this story would have gone away and people would not even remember it. Luke doesn't need enemies with friends like you!
