As Hill left the office and walked down a hallway past classrooms, Assistant Principal Craig Dodson contacted the principal and school resource officer, who were outside.

The school resource officer entered the school to check and ran into two teachers, who said Hill told them he was providing volunteer security, the report stated. The school resource officer called his Sheriff's Office supervisor, who sent another deputy to the school.

The principal, meanwhile, intercepted Hill and had him to come with her to the office, the report stated. Hill removed the vest when the deputies arrived at the office and was escorted out of the school. The deputies handcuffed and arrested him once they were out of view of students and school staff, they reported.

"Our school resource officer and all of the deputies from the Sheriff's Office help make New Hope Elementary safe so that our students and teachers can thrive in an amazing environment," Principal Ambra Wilson said. "I can't thank them enough."

Half-million dollar bail

The Sheriff's Office did not give a reason for why Hill was in the school dressed as law enforcement. He did not have any weapons or other law enforcement gear, such as handcuffs or a radio, deputies reported.
