A California man wanted for making alleged threats to an elementary school in Sonoma County is now behind bars in Douglas County.
Deputies say with the help of South Lake Tahoe police, authorities found a stolen car believed to be driven by the suspect in the Harrah's parking lot on Monday. Eventually, they say 47-year-old Kevin Harrington was arrested after he was found near a hotel room in Harvey's.
Deputies say Harrington made the alleged threats to Penngrove Elementary School in Penngrove.
The school was subsequently locked down and evacuated and resources were deployed to the school including deputies, detectives, SWAT and K9 units.
Deputies say students were evacuated classroom-by-classroom to ensure every student was accounted for and parents could pick up their children.
Harrington is being held on $500,000 bail in Douglas County where he faces charges of possession of a stolen motor vehicle and a felony warrant for his arrest out of Sonoma County for the alleged threats made on the school.
He is currently waiting to be extradited to Sonoma County.
