The Benton School District sent an electronic message to parents on Thursday afternoon stating that due to an off campus event, the following schools were placed on lockdown for approximately 15 minutes:
Angie Grant Elementary,
Benton High School,
Benton Jr High and
Benton Middle School.
According to a local witness, there was some type of arrest right in front of the school. She started that she saw “about 15 cop cars out there and a fire truck and they [had] a girl in handcuffs.”
As of 1:30 p.m., all schools were operating as normal, according to the school district’s statement. MySaline will give an update if there is more to report.
