Three Charlotte County schools were put on lockdown Thursday, all thanks to a single 25-year old man. Police say Wade Lee Brown pulled a gun at his workplace in Fortran Drive yesterday morning, then fled the area. Around 8am yesterday, witnesses told police Brown pulled a gun and began waving it around saying he was “going through a lot and was in a bad place.” He left the scene on a bicycle, then allegedly tried to carjack a driver at gunpoint before being arrested at East Marion Avenue and Elliot Street. He faces one initial count of carjacking, and more charges are pending.
