Man wearing only pink shorts causes school lockdowns

Posted

Two Lexington County schools went on lockdown Monday morning because of reports of a suspicious person in the area.

The incident began before 10 a.m., when Airport High School and Fulmer Middle School were placed on lockdown, according to the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department.

Deputies responded to reports of a white man with no shirt, no shoes, who was possibly wearing “pink shorts,” according to an incident report.

Police located the suspicious person lying in the woods nearby the school.

The man was only wearing red boxer shorts, and told a deputy he was trying to get away from “a bigger situation.”

The deputy said the man was very confused, wouldn’t answer questions and had a difficult time saying where his clothes went, according to the incident report, adding he said he “left a bar to get away from a situation involving three guys.”

The man told deputies he had no intention of bothering anyone at the schools, the sheriff’s department reported.

No criminal charge was filed, and the man was taken to an area hospital for evaluation, according to the sheriff’s department.
