Rollins College Senior Arrested After AR-15 Found in Dorm Room

An ammunition delivery to his dorm prompted an administrative search by campus safety.

Overview

  • Winter Park police say a campus safety official searched the room after a delivery of 9 mm ammo addressed to the student was flagged.
  • Officers reported finding an unloaded AR-15 under the bed, a case with one loaded and five empty magazines, a security vest, ear protection, a pistol case, and a box of rounds.
  • The student was identified as senior Constantine Demetriades, 21, who was arrested on a felony charge of possessing a weapon on school property.
  • Demetriades told investigators he bought the rifle legally in New Jersey, brought it back after Thanksgiving, usually keeps it off campus, and denied any malicious intent.
