\nA 22-year-old man was arrested after police said he showed up with a handgun outside Trimble County High School on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Kentucky State Police identified the man as 22 year-old Brendan Parkin, of Doniphan, Missouri.<\/p>\n
According to a video released by Trimble County Public Schools Superintendent Todd Neace, the incident happened around 3:20 p.m. after students had been dismissed for the day.<\/p>\n
Students who were still inside were quickly moved away from the area and the doors were locked. Neace said Parkin never got inside the building.<\/p>\n
A staff member was leaving the school when Parkin pulled a weapon on them, according to Neace. The staff member called 911.<\/p>\n
Kentucky State Police said troopers arrived in less than three minutes and arrested Parkin in the front parking lot without incident.<\/p>\n
Parkin is charged with second-degree terroristic threatening, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, alcohol intoxication in a public place and violation of conditions of release.<\/p>\n
The suspect did not get inside the school, and no one was injured.<\/p>\n
Court records show Parkin was already facing 14 charges in a separate Trimble County case involving possession or distribution of material portraying sexual performances by minors.<\/p>\n
Parkin pleaded not guilty to those charges in July 2025 and posted a $50,000 bond. His release conditions included no further violations, no contact with minor children, no electronics and no internet access.<\/p>\n
The investigation is ongoing.
