An arrest was made following an incident that placed Atascadero Junior High on lockdown Monday afternoon.
Atascadero police say they responded to the area after being notified around 1:50 p.m. of a man with a rifle seen entering the creek behind the school, which is located on the 6500 block of Lewis Ave.
Once on scene, police say a resident on Capistrano Avenue told them a man had approached them while holding what appeared to be a similar weapon before taking off toward the creek.
