After making contact, deputies explained that the man’s actions were keeping a local school under lock down. Because it was so near their release time, the incident meant greater bus traffic and general confusion as parents and students were waiting to figure out their rides home. When deputies explained this to the man, he cooperated with them and Homer Community Schools was able to lift the lockdown.

Other than the lockdown itself, there have been no other negative consequences from the incident. No other information has been made available. The original story can be found online, on the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office, Facebook page.
