Man’s arrest leads to Pulaski County school being put on lockdown

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Pulaski County school was put on a temporary lockdown on Thursday as a man was getting arrested.

Ronald Brown, of Orrick, Missouri, was charged with resisting arrest. A warrant was ordered on Friday and no hearings have been scheduled.

The probable cause statement says law enforcement tried to serve a warrant at a Crocker, Missouri, address for Stephen Jenkins in relation to drug charges. That man was not home but he was found in a vehicle later with Brown.

As police served that warrant, they asked for Brown’s information and he started walking away, the statement says. Police told him to stop, but Brown then ran away to a wooded area near the Crocker School District, the statement says.

The school was put on a lockdown as Brown was detained, the statement says. Brown allegedly told law enforcement that he ran away because he had an active warrant, court documents say.
