Grambling State University continues to deal with guns on campus.
An incident Thursday evening led to another arrest for having a firearm on campus. GSU police have actively tackled the problem since several shootings on campus last fall by aggressively pursuing investigations of gun violations.
Grambling State Police officers were dispatched to Jones Hall, a residence hall on the GSU campus, regarding a disturbance. After interviewing the parties involved in the altercation, it was learned that one of the roommate’s boyfriend tried to break up the fight and, in the process, dropped a firearm.
The boyfriend was identified as Marvin Campbell, 19, of Oakland, Calif. He was located in another room and interviewed. Campbell admitted having a gun on campus and was arrested for possession of a firearm in a firearm-free school zone.
Campbell was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center where he remains in lieu of $10,000 bail.
