LETHBRIDGE — A man police say had a hatchet hidden in his coat inside a southern Alberta elementary school has been charged with weapons offences.
On Wednesday Lethbridge police say they were called to Mike Mountain Horse School.
No one was hurt or threatened but the school was locked down as a precaution.
Police say a suspect was arrested in an empty room after telling staff that he was being chased and had a weapon.
Godfrey Adrian Shouting, who is 37, is charged with possession of an offensive weapon dangerous to the public and carrying a concealed weapon.
He was being held in custody and is to appear in Lethbridge court on Monday.
