Deputies identify woman charged in gun incident at Ashley Ridge basketball game

DORCHESTER COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) – A judge set bond Saturday for a woman arrested Friday night for allegedly bringing a weapon to a high school basketball game.

London Mechelle Taylor, 37, of Ladson, was charged with possession of a firearm on school property and unlawful carry of a pistol, Lt. Rick Carson said.

Taylor was attempting to enter an event at the school when an alarm sounded as she passed through a weapon detection unit operated by Dorchester District Two, Carson said, adding that District 2 officials found the gun during a secondary screening.

“Taylor was immediately turned over to one of the school resource officers on scene,” Carson said.

The district notified parents about the incident just after 7:30 p.m.

During a bond hearing on Saturday, a judge set a $15,000 public recognizance bond for Taylor, Carson said. As of Saturday afternoon, she was still listed as being held at the L.C. Knight Detention Center in Dorchester County.

Officials with Dorchester School District Two say a woman was arrested after she brought a weapon to a high school basketball game Friday night.
