An Edmonton man is facing charges after RCMP in Sherwood Park responded to reports of a man shouting and making “threatening gestures” outside an elementary school on Thursday morning.
Police were called to the Westboro Elementary school at around 8:20 a.m., and quickly located a man matching the description of the suspect, outside the school. Police said he was arrested without incident.
The school was placed on a “hold and secure” for about 10 minutes during the incident.
The 35-year-old man is facing a charge of uttering threats.
