Mom Charged After Allegedly Packing Gun in Child's School Backpack to 'Return' It to Their Father: 'Could've Ended in Tragedy'
The student found the firearm in their bag during the first week back at Coppergate Elementary School NEED TO KNOW A Florida mom allegedly sent her young child to school on Aug. 13 with a gun in their backpack, so they could "return the firearm to their father," authorities said The child, "unaware" of the gun, told teachers, who informed the local sheriff's office Mother Sierra Bronner was arrested and charged with child neglect and giving a firearm to a minor A Florida mom has been charged with two felonies after allegedly sending her young child to school with a firearm. During the first week of classes at Coppergate Elementary School, also known as Coppergate School of the Arts, officials found a gun in a student's backpack, according to a news release from the Clay County Sheriff's Office (CCSO). Upon arriving at the Middleburg-based school on Wednesday, Aug. 13, the student 'discovered' the weapon in their bag, the CCSO said. They then 'told their teacher,' who alerted school officials and the sheriff's office, which was quick to alert the community to the situation. "All children are safe,' Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook wrote in a Facebook post shared early that morning. The notification came as the school was placed in what the CCSO called 'secure status,' meaning educators could 'continue instructing while preventing anyone to leave or enter school grounds,' the sheriff's office said. The gun, meanwhile, was confiscated by CCSO deputies. With the school secure and the gun in CCSO possession, the sheriff's office began an investigation — which quickly led them to the student's mother, Sierra Bronner. "Through investigative techniques and interviews, we discovered the child's parents don't live together; the mother placed the gun in the backpack and told the young child to return the firearm to their father before they left for school,' the CCSO wrote in the news release. 'The child was taken to Coppergate Elementary by their father, who was unaware the gun was in the backpack. Therefore, the firearm ended up on school grounds,' the release stated. Upon learning that Bronner, 39, had allegedly sent the child to school with the firearm, she was arrested and charged with 'child neglect and giving a firearm to a minor,' the CCSO said. Both are felony charges, according to arrest records viewed by PEOPLE. PEOPLE reached out to Bronner and a Coppergate School of the Arts spokesperson for comment, but did not receive an immediate response. The Florida Department of Children and Families was also alerted to the situation and 'responded,' according to the CCSO. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

Look in their backpacks, ask questions and have conversations on what's appropriate to bring to school,' the sheriff said. 'In this specific case, this was a poor decision and could've ended in tragedy.' "I'm grateful for our partnership with Clay County District Schools and applaud our school resource deputies and detectives for their work to keep our students safe,' Cook added.

‘I'm being stonewalled.' Community leaders want release of undocumented immigrant
On Friday morning, a news conference was held about the release of Muscatine resident Jesus Hernandez, whose full name is Felipe de Jesus Hernandez Marcelo. He came to the United States from Mexico in 2021, and has relatives in the Muscatine area. Hernandez's attorney says he is not facing removal, which is the legal term for the expulsion of a non-citizen from the United States. His lawyer, Emily Rebelskey, was at the news conference, along with family, and friends. Hernandez, an immigrant without legal status, was shot in his car while thieves tried to steal it early June 21 while he was driving to his construction was taken to a hospital for his injuries. His attorney says he was shot through his right wrist, his right thigh, and he also was wounded in the calf of one leg. She said he developed an infection while he was incarcerated in Muscatine County Jail, and was treated for it at a hospital. When Hernandez went to pick up his car, he was detained, his lawyer said. Rebelskey says Muscatine County Attorney Jim Barry is refusing to compromise for Hernandez's release. 'I'm being stonewalled by Jim Barry,' said Rebelskey. 'I have asked Jim Barry three times to sign a U-visa certification, and his position is that he does not negotiate on immigration status,. My question for Jim is 'Why not?'' A U-visa is a non-immigrant visa designed for victims of certain kinds of crimes who have suffered physically or mentally, and are willing to assist law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of a crime. A U-visa allows eligible people to temporarily live and work in the United States, and possibly pursue legal permanent residence. Hernandez was denied a U-visa, and Rebelskey says city officials are refusing to talk to her. Our Quad Cities News tried to reach Barry on Friday but his staff said he was in court. Hernandez is in custody in the Muscatine County Jail. This is a developing story. Our Quad Cities news will provide details about the case and upcoming court hearings as they become available.
