Student expelled for leaving guns in vehicle!
SACRAMENTO, Kalifornia - January 10, 2010 - A teenager expelled from his Glenn County high school for having shotguns in his vehicle, which was parked off campus, will challenge his expulsion this week.
Gary Tudesko, 16, was expelled from Willows High School in November after a dog detected the guns in his pickup truck on October 26, according to a news release by the National Rifle Association.
Tudesko told school officials he'd gone on an early morning duck-hunting trip before school that day and believed the guns would not be a problem if he parked off campus.
Willows is a town of 6,000 surrounded by ranching areas and wetlands in the Sacramento Valley.
School officials claimed they had the legal authority to expel Tudesko. The teen and his family, with legal support from the NRA, are challenging the decision.
A hearing is scheduled before the Glenn County Board of Education in Willows on Friday at 10 a.m.
