HERSHEY — At 9:20 a.m. Thursday, numerous reports of a subject under the influence at the Hershey Quick Stop were received. It was reported the male subject was attempting to assault employees and patrons of the convenance store.

This caused Hershey Public School to go into lockdown as they are just south of the store.

Deputies arrived and contacted North Platte resident Austin Bordeaux, 29, who was highly intoxicated. Deputies learned that Bordeaux did assault a store clerk leaving her with a cut on her hand.

Bordeaux was arrested and incarcerated on suspicion of third-degree assault, disturbing the peace and trespassing.

Hershey Public School was taken out of lockdown upon Bordeaux's arrest.
