The code-yellow lockdown at Salisbury High School early Friday afternoon was connected to the arrest of a non-student, 18-year-old Brandon A. Lanaverde of Edgedale Drive, Salisbury.

According to reports from the Rowan County Magistrate’s Office, Salisbury Police charged Lanaverde with second-degree trespass and possession and consumption of a malt beverage.

Lanaverde was placed under $1,500 bond Friday. At 11:57 a.m. Friday, police responded to a report from the school resource officer of a suspicious man on campus.

The school went into the code-yellow lockdown for student safety and security reasons.

In other arrest reports from the Magistrate’s Office:

Reports said Rankin was driving his vehicle 70 mph on West Innes Street, in sections which have a 35 mph speed limit. Although he is only 17, Rankin was charged as an adult because he already had been convicted on another crime as an adult.

He had 38 grams of marijuana, reports stated.
