ABC News A Nevada college student was arrested on campus after police found a rifle and 2,000 rounds of ammunition in his vehicle. Shayn Striegel, a 27-year-old student at the College of Southern Nevada, was arrested and charged Wednesday evening after officers discovered the weapon while acting on a tip, the school said in a statement. Striegel, who had parked his vehicle on the college’s Henderson campus, told officers that he’d forgotten about the weapons. “Officers arrived and tracked down the student who had driven the car to campus. It was then determined that the student had a rifle and approximately 2,000 rounds of ammunition inside the vehicle,” the statement said. “Firearms are prohibited on Nevada System of Higher Education campuses, including those kept in parked vehicles.” The student was arrested at around 6 p.m and booked into the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. He was being held on a $2,000 bond on charges of possession of a dangerous weapon on school property. No one was hurt and there was no immediate threat to others on campus, the college said. Striegel is scheduled to appear in court on Friday. The school said the arrest highlighted the importance of the public reporting suspicious activity. “Although police do not believe that an ongoing threat exists to Henderson or any of our other campuses as a result of this incident, it is an important reminder of the effectiveness of the ‘see something, say something’ public safety campaign,” according to the statement. “If you see something suspicious, report it to the police immediately.” The discovery came just days after a North Carolina college student was arrested with ammunition and two firearms in his dorm room. The student, identified as High Point University freshman Paul Steber, allegedly told authorities that he was plotting to commit a mass shooting at his school, with plans on killing himself and his roommate. Police did not offer specific details about his plans, but prosecutors said Steber desperately wanted to pledge a fraternity and the plot hinged on whether or not he got into one. That case also came to light based on a tip from someone on campus. https://abcnews.go.com/US/nevada-college-student-arrested-campus-rifle-2000-rounds/story?id=65279561

More background: About 4 p.m. on Aug. 28, University Police Services were given a report that there appeared to be firearm magazines in a car on CSN's Henderson campus, near Horizon and College drives, according to an emailed statement from the school. Officers found the driver, a 27-year-old student named Shayn David Striegel, and determined the car contained a rifle and about 2,000 rounds of ammunition. He told authorities he forgot it was in his car. According to Striegel's arrest report, the vehicle that was found parked on the CSN Henderson campus was registered to his brother, identified in police records as Tylor William Striegel, 27. When police made contact with Tylor, he said his brother Shayn was the primary driver of the vehicle, the report said. Police confirmed during a records check that Shayn had an active, valid concealed weapons permit out of Clark County. Police also confirmed Shayn was a current student at CSN and was in class when officers found the vehicle, the arrest report said. As officers approached Shayn, he began "making spontaneous utterances: I know what this is about, I'm so sorry. I forgot I had it in the car, I work for Rifle Dynamics." According to his arrest report, during his interview with police, Shayn once again told officers he worked for Rifle Dynamics and had been at the shooting range earlier in the day. He told officers he forgot the rifle and ammunition were in his car, and that there were no additional firearms in the vehicle. Police found, during a probable cause search of the vehicle, a gray ammo can with blue tape across the top with "Shayn" written across the top, which contained several hundred rounds of .22 ammunition; an unlocked rifle case in the trunk containing an unloaded, black, AK style weapon and a green ammo can filled with 7.62 ammunition. No other firearms were found in the vehicle. ...

Does it now – a simple case to whom? And therein lies the potential for presenting some major problems when he continues to seek employment throughout his life. Why? A survey revealed that colossal 92% of those employers who responded performed arrest record checks on at least some of the job applicants while 73% indicated that they had conducted an arrest record checks on all job applicants. Furthermore, while some of the employers disqualify applicants for only certain offenses, there were many more who simply refuse to consider any applicant who has an arrest record, period. That depends on “with whom.” “Serious” is defined as “demanding careful consideration or application. While “trouble” is defined as “anything that causes difficulty, worry, and inconvenience, or that prevents you from doing something.” So, while you so flippantly disregard his arrest record as a “simple case” – I would be more inclined to approach it with the respectful attitude it rightfully and fully deserves. I would do this because arrest record checks have curtailed many a job opportunity for millions of people. One source estimated that an astounding 65 million people in this country – roughly one in four- have arrest records. It is because of all I have covered here that I would therefore strongly hesitate before I declared him not to be in “any serious trouble.” There may be cause to examine the relationships of the forgiveness you have shown to him here and the lack of forgiveness by potential employers with the psychological effect on them from the arrest record data available.

Sounds like a simple case. He'll have an arrest record for a firearms violation but he's not in any serious trouble. Maybe he pays a fine, does some community service hours.
