LINCOLN, Calif. — Students and staff at Lincoln High School went through a scare after the campus temporarily went on lockdown due a report of a gun on campus Thursday.
After searching the campus, the Lincoln Police Department said there was no gun found.
Police had responded to the campus after getting a report of a student with a gun. Arriving officers entered the school cafeteria and were directed to a group of people sitting at a table.
After the lockdown was put in place, they contacted the people inside the cafeteria and directed students to keep their hands in plain view but police said a 16-year-old student refused to do so. The student was only described as a boy.
According to police, the teenager was seen by others lifting his shirt and making motions to his waistband to indicate that he had a gun.
Police said the boy resisted and pulled away from officers when they tried to bring his hands into plain view. He was taken to the ground, handcuffed and searched but police said they didn't find any weapons on him.
He was accused public intoxication after a field sobriety test and was taken to Placer County Juvenile Hall with an additional charge of resisting a peace officer.
