MAN ARRESTED WITH GUN AT SCHOOL EVENT - A Putnam County man is facing a charge after court records say he brought a gun to a youth basketball game Friday at Buffalo High School.

Nathan Robert Boggess of Ripley is charged with possessing deadly weapons on premises of educational facilities, a criminal complaint from Putnam County Magistrate Court said.

A witness saw Boggess sitting in the basketball gym with a firearm hanging out of his back pocket, the complaint said. The witness identified himself to Boggess as a deputy sheriff and showed him his badge, then took possession of the gun. The deputy escorted Boggess out of the gym.

The gun was a Ruger LCP .380 caliber automatic pistol. Court records said the magazine was loaded but did not have a round chambered.
