A Virginia man has been charged after a 6-year-old child was caught with a loaded gun at an elementary school last week.
Drakar Rawlings, 31, was hit with a slew of charges including access to firearms by children and abuse and neglect of children.
Deputies responded to Orange Elementary School on Sept. 16 about a loaded firearm found in the backpack of a student.
