Centralia High School, Centralia Middle School, Fords Prairie Elementary School, Futurus High School and the school district office were all placed on lockout, Tuesday afternoon after a suspect attempted to run from officers from the Joint Narcotics Enforcement Team, Centralia Police Chief Carl Nielsen said.
The Centralia School District reported the lockout just before 2 p.m. today and it lasted about 20 minutes.
The suspect, whose name has not yet been released, was in custody as of 2:40 p.m., Nielsen said.
