Police in Florida arrested two high school students Monday who are accused of visiting another high school to fulfill a “bounty,” according to court documents.
The Seminole County Sheriff’s Department charged Zion Hooks and Jeremiah Parker, both 19, with trespassing and disturbing the peace after they went inside Lake Mary High School to join in a schoolwide eclipse event, according to an affidavit obtained by local Fox affiliate WOFL.
The affidavit said the suspects, who attend Seminole High School, told a Lake Mary student during the event that they were on campus for a “bounty.”
The sheriff’s office didn’t elaborate on the nature of the alleged bounty.
The student told school officials about the suspects, according to the affidavit, and the campus went on lockdown as authorities searched for the pair
Mr. Hooks and Mr. Parker were found about 45 minutes later. The filing said neither of the suspects were armed.
