LACKAWANNA, N.Y. -- A Lackawanna student faces prison time after admitting to bringing a loaded handgun to school, earlier this year.
District Attorney's office officials say 20-year-old Devonte Ridgeway pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a weapon in Erie County Court Thursday.
Back in January, he set off a metal detector at Baker Hall School.
Staff searched his backpack and found a loaded gun hidden in a sneaker inside the bag.
Ridgeway ran off, but was arrested in Holy Cross Cemetery.
He faces up to 15 years in prison when he's sentenced next month.
