A student’s 911 call about a gunman caused a 3-hour lockdown. Caller arrested, cops say.
A Fort Lauderdale 14-year-old has been arrested after cops say his phony phone call caused a three-hour school lockdown March 11.
Kendrick Green is charged with misusing 911 at a cost exceeding $100 and disturbing the peace-disturbing school functions.
Fort Lauderdale police said the 911 caller that morning “provided a detailed description of the student carrying a handgun, building location and claimed that he was hiding in a bathroom for his safety.”
The lockdown covered the Dillard High School and Dillard Elementary School campus in Fort Lauderdale, bordered by Northwest 27th Avenue, 13th Court, Panther Lane and Northwest 23rd Terrace. Cops scoured the campus before declaring no weapons were found.
Anyone with more information on this or similar cases can call Fort Lauderdale Detective Chris Carita at 954-828-6616.
