An Opelika High School student was arrested Wednesday after authorities say he had a gun on school property.

Dezi Yelder, 18, is charged with possession of a firearm in certain places and second-degree possession of marijuana.

Opelika police school resource officers received information about a possible gun being inside a vehicle at the high school on Lafayette Parkway.
