Please attribute to Acting Sergeant Jonathan Davies:
A 56-year-old man is due to appear in Nelson District Court today on a variety of charges following an incident at Takaka School.
A threatening phone call yesterday morning prompted the school to go into temporary lockdown — a standard response to any perceived threat.
The man was arrested a short time later at the Takaka Police Station.
At no time were any children at risk.
