SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – Two students from another school were arrested Monday afternoon after a Code Red lockdown was issued at Lake Mary High School, according to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.
The school was locked down after two students entered the LMHS campus, though the lockdown was later lifted after school officials discovered “there was no threat.”
In an arrest report, deputies said the students — Zion Hooks and Jeremiah Parker, both 19 — who entered LMHS both attended Seminole High School.
According to the report, the pair came to the campus in Parker’s car and parked in the parking lot.

They then went into Lake Mary High School’s auditorium and told one of the students that they were there for a “bounty,” investigators explained. No further details about the “bounty” were released.
Both Hooks and Parker went into the school’s main building through the multipurpose room, entering into the main hallway around 11 a.m., which was during the class change before the school’s first lunch period, deputies said.
Shortly afterward, the school was placed on a Code Red lockdown because the pair of students was unable to be located. The lockdown lasted about 45 minutes, the report shows.
However, Hooks and Parker were later found at Seminole High School around 12:05 p.m., and the lockdown was lifted, deputies added.
They were both arrested and face charges of disturbing the peace of a school function and trespassing on school grounds.
