Two York County residents were arrested Dec. 23 after allegedly shooting a sign at a fire station near Yorktown Middle School on Goosley Road.
At around 10 p.m. Dec. 23, a York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office deputy was in the parking lot of Yorktown Middle School when he heard gunshots nearby. He then observed a pickup truck on a gravel road near the fire station, which he approached. The deputy arrested 21-year-old Logan Brown and 20-year-old Jesse Marlowe, who were both charged with shooting from a vehicle and discharging a firearm in or around a school, both felonies, said Lt. Dennis Ivey of the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office.
Marlowe was also charged with destruction of property, unlawful purchase or possession of an alcoholic beverage and reckless handling of a firearm, all misdemeanors. Brown also faces charges of driving under the influence of alcohol, refusal to take a blood or breath test and drinking while operating a motor vehicle, all misdemeanors.
A Glock handgun and two rifles were confiscated from a truck, Ivey said. Both Marlowe and Brown will appear in York County District Court at 8:30 a.m. Monday.

Another reason you need a stash of guns — to protect yourself from offensive road signs.
