A man gets into a local school undetected. Thursday officers arrested a man they say broke into Allison Elementary in Chester, Hancock County, while school was in session. Officials say the man was spotted when one of the teachers walked into her classroom. The students had just been sent to lunch when the teacher saw the man hiding in the classroom's closet. The sheriff says 41 year old Gerald Klaus of Hookstown, Pennsylvania was the man in the school. Hancock County Sheriff Michael White says once detected Klaus left the school and the teacher called 911. At that point all of the students returned to their classrooms to make sure every child was accounted for. No one was missing. In the meantime, law enforcement surrounded the school and searched for Klaus. The suspect was taken into custody less than a mile from the school. Sheriff White says he was walking across the nearby bridge when he was spotted, "At this point we think he was looking at an easy target to score some money and that's what we believe his actions were based on. He was unarmed very passive, the arrest was very what we call unincidental, no physical force was necessary." Klaus was arraigned on a felony, entering without breaking.
