From the Middletown Police Department
At approximately 1415 hours, Christopher Burgos was located and taken into custody by Middletown and CVH Police in the area of Bielfield School on Maynard Street.
At the time of the arrest the school was closed due to a pre-scheduled early dismissal.
The school was not closed...there were parent-teacher conferences taking place, a bake sale manned by children and Kids Korner was in there...yes most of the kids were home already...somebody better explain why Bielefield was not on lockdown the entire time this guy was on the loose...they were only on lockdown part of the time and then it was lifted...it is my understanding that it was lifted well before dismissal took place and there was no police presence at dismissal either. The guy was caught right in front of the school an hour later.
ReplyDeleteFrom what i overheard, the police determined the person was not a that much of a threat to warrant locking down the schools.
