Kings District RCMP responded to a report of a disturbance at Morell Consolidated School earlier today, which resulted in the school being placed in lockdown and the arrest of a 46-year-old man.
At approximately 9:04 a.m. on December 17, 2025, police were called to the school after an intoxicated man attended the property attempting to locate a student known to him. School officials initiated a lockdown and contacted police.
Officers located the individual on school grounds and arrested him without incident. He is currently under investigation for impaired driving, mischief, and breach of probation.
No one was injured during the incident. School staff acted quickly and appropriately to ensure the safety of all students while awaiting police arrival. The investigation remains ongoing.
“This unfortunate incident highlights the importance of school safety planning,” said Chief Superintendent Kevin Lewis Commanding Officer for the PEI RCMP. “Lockdown training and preparedness allowed school staff and students to use this training to respond quickly and effectively, helping to ensure their safety.”
