The 13-year-old “ringleader” in the foiled school shooting plot earlier this year at the Villages Charter School has been released to the custody of his grandparents, pending an upcoming trial date.

Zachary Shearon will be confined to ”secure home detention” after nearly two months in juvenile detention since his arrest in January.

It’s not clear why Zachary Shearon was released to his grandparents, but his mother, 42-year-old Melynda Shearon, is facing cocaine and marijuana charges. She remains free on bond. You can read more about her case HERE

The drugs were discovered in the Shearons’ Fruitland Park home on the day law enforcement officers arrived to arrest Zachary Shearon in connection with the failed school shooting plot.
