CHS LOCKDOWN SPARKED BY MULTI-STUDENT ARGUMENT, SECOND SUSPECT A FORMER STUDENT

From Maplewood Police today:

During the investigation of the incident leading up to the school lockdown (Monday) at Columbia High School it was determined that there was an argument between a 17 year old student, 18 year old former student, Veridson Guillaume and a group of current students. 

A witness alleged that both the 17 year old student and Mr. Guillaume may have weapons. The 17 year old student was arrested during the school lockdown in possession of brass knuckles. It was learned that although he did not enter the school, Mr Guillaume did come onto school property. 

A complaint for Trespass was issued for Verdison Guillaume. During the early morning hours of November 11th, D/Sgt Sally and Det. Reeves responded to a South Orange address to attempt to serve the warrant. 

Once located, the officers attempted to place Mr Guillaume under arrest. Mr Guillaume assaulted officers and physically resisted the arrest. He was eventually taken into custody and was additionally charged with aggravated assault on police officers. He was processed and transported to Essex County Jail.
