SUMMARY: A Rankin County teenager, Chance Smith, was sentenced to four years in prison for threatening a Brandon High School teacher and bringing a gun to school just two weeks before a deadly crash. In September 2022, 18-year-old Smith threatened a teacher and said he would shoot up the school after being reprimanded for yelling in class. He had also brought a firearm to campus. This incident highlights the seriousness of underage drinking and the potential consequences of irresponsible behavior. Smith's actions put the safety of the school community at risk and resulted in a significant punishment.

Chance Smith will serve four years in prison for threatening a Brandon High School teacher and bringing a gun to school.
