Authorities say a man was reported threatening violence against employees at Sundial Lodge in Canyons Village around 2 p.m. Aug. 21.
According to a joint press release from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office and Park City Police Department, he fled the area “after citizens intervened and attempted to detain him.”
When deputies found a motorcycle similar to the suspect’s at the “Blue Roof” Exxon gas station on Silver Springs Drive, they notified nearby schools.
Parley’s Park Elementary School across the street and the Winter Sports School on Shadow Mountain Drive temporarily operated under their “secure” protocols the afternoon of Aug. 21.
“Secure” means doors were locked, with no one allowed in or out of the building, but classes proceeded as normal.
The man was later spotted at Park City Hospital in Quinn’s Junction, where he was arrested.
The schools received the “all clear” shortly afterward and reopened.
Authorities say the motorcycle at the Blue Roof was not the suspect’s.
Parents received an email after 3 p.m. from the school district informing them about the “secure” protocol and that the suspect had been apprehended.
