Clark County School District police arrested a man early Wednesday after an officer found him with a gun on school property near Mountain Vista Street and Russell Road.

Gene R. Cosse, 24, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of possession of a dangerous weapon on school property, police spokesman Lt. Ken Young said.

At 3:30 a.m., an officer was performing a routine property check near the Southeast Career Technical Academy and found a car parked in a parking lot, Young said. The officer approached the car and found Cosse asleep inside with a handgun near the front seat area.

Young said there was no known threat to the school or any personnel. It was likely Cosse pulled over to sleep, Young said.

Cosse is being held in on $2,000 bail.
