Hollister police and Hollister School District officials placed a local school on lockdown Thursday morning after a 48-year-old male with a felony warrant was suspected of calling Calaveras School and asking that his children be released to him.
Police first released a statement about the incident Friday morning.
According to the statement, officers received a call from Calaveras Elementary School staff members after Rey Salgado, 48, called and asked that his children be released to him. Through a records check, the officers found an active restraining order against Salgado with his children and their mother as protected parties. The officers also found a felony warrant for Salgado.
Officers said they evaluated the situation with officials from the Hollister School District when they decided to initiate a code blue lockdown for the campus. An officer stayed near campus while other officers searched known addresses for the suspect.
