COLORADO SPRINGS – A woman was arrested Friday in Colorado Springs after policed received a call about a person with weapons at a school.

When officers arrived at the Vanguard School campus they encountered the woman, who had been detained by school administrators. The administrators said the woman, 29-year-old Jillian Haddan, was lying on an exterior wall on school grounds with two large Samurai swords and knives on or near her.

There were no specific threats, but police say Haddan had no business on campus and was a potential threat. She was taken into custody and booked into the Criminal Justice Center for Weapons on School Grounds.
