The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) has arrested 17 year-old Thomas Sharp, a Ponchatoula teenager for bringing a gun to his school’s campus. Sharp has been booked on one count of Possession of a Firearm on School Property.
Today (Thursday, October 2, 2025), TPSO received a report that a gun was seen sitting on the front passenger seat of a student’s vehicle in the Ponchatoula High School parking lot. School administrators worked with the assigned School Resource Officer (SRO) to confirm Sharp as the driver of the vehicle and he was placed under arrest. At no time were any students in danger and the school was not placed on lockdown.
The TPSO and the Tangipahoa School System thank the community for their continued partnership to ensure the highest level of safety and security at our schools.
