POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) _ Police say they have arrested a Chubbuck
man believed to have made threats that prompted lockdowns of two
Pocatello schools in November.

Authorities say 50-year-old Thomas ``Rudy'' Arellano was
apprehended Sunday during a routine traffic stop in Montpellier. He
is being held in the Caribou County Jail.

The Idaho State Journal reports he was arrested on an
outstanding warrant for domestic battery, stemming from claim filed
by his wife Nov. 16.

Pocatello police allege that Arellano made threats that led to
the lockdown of Pocatello High School on Nov. 16 and then the
Lincoln Early Learning Center the next day. Parents of children who
attend those two schools say Arrellano made threats against their
children.
