PARK CITY — Several Park City schools were on lockout Wednesday morning as police pursued a man in the area who had a warrant out for his arrest.
Park City High School, McPolin Elementary School, Treasure Mountain Junior High and the Park City School District offices were on lockout about 11:30 a.m. as police chased "an individual on foot," according to a tweet from school district officials.
The lockout was lifted approximately a half hour later about noon.
