Man Arrested After Firearm Located at Richlands Elementary School

On Wednesday, January 28, 2026, deputies responded to Richlands Elementary School involving an incident with an individual identified as Spencer Oluich, 29, when school staff were made aware of a potential conflict between Oluich and the mother of his children, who are students at the school.  

Staff contacted the school resource officer after Oluich became agitated during the conversation. The SRO escorted Oluich outside, where it was determined that he had driven to the school with a suspended driver’s license.

The SRO initiated an investigation and located a pocketknife and a handgun on Oluich. Oluich was taken into custody without further incident. At no time did he inform the deputy that he was carrying a firearm.  

The quick response of school staff and law enforcement ensured no students, staff, or visitors were harmed during this incident. The investigation remains ongoing.

Oluich is charged with Felony Gun on Educational Property and Misdemeanor Weapon on Educational Property. Additional charges are pending.  

We’d like to thank Richlands Elementary School staff for their cooperation and commitment to maintaining a safe learning environment for all students.
