Bridgeport man arrested for suspicious person incident that prompted Masuk lockdown

A Bridgeport man has been arrested for the suspicious person incident that caused a lockdown at Masuk High School in November.  32-year old Edwin Galvez-Lemus was going up to and speaking with female students. 

The school resource officer started questioning him, but he fled at a high rate of speed, dragging her several feet and hitting her with the car's side mirror.   At first, the Connecticut Post reports that Galvez-Lemus told the officer he was waiting for his boss.  Then he said he was lost and refused to provide ID.  He eventually drove on a lawn on Monroe Turnpike and fled on foot into a wooded area. 

He was charged with assault on a public safety officer, trespassing, breach of peace, engaging police in pursuit and reckless driving. 

The Guatemalan citizen had been deported once, was back in the country illegally and being sought by ICE.  He was arraigned Thursday, held on bond and the case was continued to January 13th.
