Man arrested after police find shotgun in vehicle on school property

A 20-year-old Hot Springs man was arrested Monday after authorities found a shotgun in his vehicle at Lake Hamilton High School, according to a police report.

Alexander Gilliana is facing a charge of possession of a gun on school property.

Officials say deputies responded to the school at 280 Wolf St. in Pearcy about 2:30 p.m. to investigate a report of a driver who was "being very disorderly" after being involved in a road rage incident earlier that day.

According to a probable cause affidavit from the Garland County sheriff's office, Gilliana said he had become involved in a dispute after driving on Airport Road, which began when he pulled out in front of another vehicle and was driving slowly.

The other vehicle followed Gilliana when he stopped at a nearby business and the driver threatened to assault him "if he did that again," the affidavit said.
