A 42-year-old Fremont man was arrested on suspicion of possessing stolen property and carrying a billy club after briefly walking onto the campus of Northgate High School Wednesday.
The school was placed under lockdown shortly after 1 p.m. as Walnut Creek police moved in to arrest James Nisleit after he was spotted carrying a bag and dressed in camouflage attire near the school.
A car believed to have been used by Nisleit and reported stolen earlier from an address in San Leandro was also recovered nearby.
Going to school around here gets more challenging every year.
