While Guerrero was inside the school, her boyfriend was also being arrested outside the school.
Sgt. Zink with the Clark County School Police Department says that 36-year-old Sebastian Nava-Guerra had driven Guerrero to the school and was waiting for her in a red zone outside.
Other police officers on campus noticed that the car's registration was expired and began to question the boyfriend. They then discovered that he did not have proof of insurance or a valid driver's license.
During a vehicle inventory before the car was towed, police also found a gun between the driver's seat and center console. Police also found meth on the Nava-Guerra.
He is facing charges of driving without a valid license, operating an unregistered vehicle, driving without insurance, possession of a schedule I, II, III or IV drug, and possession of a gun by a prohibited person.
