DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A homeless man has been sentenced to a year in jail after authorities say he walked into a Florida high school classroom armed with a knife.
Volusia County Judge Bryan Feigenbaum ordered 51-year-old Derek Marlowe to spend 364 days in jail after jurors last week found him guilty of trespassing on school property, disorderly conduct and disrupting a school function.
Prosecutors say Marlowe was drunk when he rode his bicycle to Spruce Creek High School in Port Orange on Sept. 27.
