Knoxville, TN (WOKI) A Jefferson County man is facing charges after police say he brought a gun to Neyland Stadium ahead of Saturday’s Tennessee vs Georgia game.

Court records indicate officers discovered 68-year-old Jeffrey Lansdown of Dandridge just before 11:30 a.m. on November 18 outside of Gate 21 with a loaded 9 millimeter handgun in his waistband.

Lansdown was taken into custody for Carrying a Weapon on School Property because the University of Tennessee owns Neyland Stadium.

After Lansdown’s arrest, he was issued a criminal warning from all UT-owned property; he is scheduled for Arraignment on November 29 in a Knox County Court.
