Trespassing teens caught after Clermont middle school locks down, police say

CLERMONT, Fla. – After a Clermont middle school was placed on lockdown on Friday, two people were arrested, according to the police department.

In a release, the district announced that the campus had been placed on a short lockdown following a “disruption in the front office involving a student’s sibling, who made a threat against the school.”

“During that time, we also identified two unauthorized high school students who arrived on campus without checking in,” the release reads. “We later received a report that one of these individuals may have had a weapon.”

Later, police told News 6 that the two former students were taken into custody for questioning.

“The concerns were discovered to be unfounded, and no weapons were located anywhere on campus,” police explained. “The lockdown on the school has been lifted.”

Investigators also noted that the teens now face charges of trespassing on school grounds and disrupting a school function.

No additional information has been provided at this time.
