Watts says Perotti was cooperative and allowed officers to access his car and weapon.
Perotti was booked on one count of carrying a weapon onto school grounds.
Police say there is nothing so far to indicate that there was any threat directed at the school’s student body or its staff.
The arrest comes a day after a mass shooting in Parkland, Florida left 17 students and teachers dead.
