The Josephine County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call for service at Fort Vannoy School Monday, November 6th, on Upper River Road after the caller reported that a male subject was at the school with a can of gasoline and a stick threatening to burn the school down and threatening harm towards staff.
Because of the subject’s words and actions, the school immediately went into lockdown, and when deputies arrived on scene, they located the subject on the roadway outside the school.
The subject, identified as 33 year old George Muse, attempted to run from deputies after being given commands and was apprehended.
After George Muse was taken into custody, the deputies located the can of gasoline and stick near the fence line of the school. Deputies and school staff also checked the area for any other threats before the lockdown was lifted.
George Muse was arrested and lodged in the Josephine County Jail for Disorderly Conduct I and Attempted Escape III.
