SUMMARY:
On Thursday, August 18, 2022, at about 12:30 p.m., deputies from the Big Bear Station responded to the 500 block of Maple Lane after a witness reported a male subject making threats towards children. Out of an abundance of caution, Big Bear High School and Baldwin Lane Elementary School were placed on lockdown. Deputies conducted an area check but the suspect was not immediately located.
At about 1:36 p.m., both school lockdowns were lifted, however, as a precaution, deputies remained at the schools until the children were dismissed for the day.
Deputies continued their search and contacted a subject, identified as Sean Loudy, who matched the description of the suspect. Loudy was arrested for making terrorist threats and taken into custody. He was booked in at the Big Bear Jail where he remains in custody on $50,000 bail.
