A registered sex offender was arrested last week after his electronic monitoring device showed him at South Davie Middle School.
Robert David Gibson, 47, of Stepping Stones Lane, Mocksville, was arrested Nov. 15 by the Davie Sheriff’s Office, the day after the event. He was taken into custody in lieu of a $37,500 bond. He was also charged with a parole violation.
Sheriff J.D. Hartman said that Gibson came onto the school grounds at 5:27 p.m., and left at 5:33 p.m. He was a passenger in a food delivery vehicle and did not leave the vehicle.
He has been a registered sex offender since Oct. 31, 2005 and has been convicted before of being on school grounds, Hartman said.
