A high school and middle school were placed on lockdown Monday after school leaders were advised that there was a man walking in a wooded area near the schools and he appeared to be armed.

According to the Louisa Police Department, officers located and arrested the man noticed near Lawrence County High School and Louisa Middle School.

Officers says 21 year old Bailey Maynard had brought a BB gun on school grounds and was walking toward the wooded area in a manner that raised suspicion.

Maynard has been charged with terroristic threatening, menacing and disorderly conduct. Maynard was lodged in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center and all lockdown orders were lifted.
