Woman charged in college lockdown

A false report of a gunman at Saint Paul College that resulted in a campus lockdown and a building evacuation has resulted in charges. More than 40 police officers responded to the campus September 23 after a woman reported seeing an armed man in an elevator who was upset about his financial aid. St. Paul police sent SWAT officers to the college and cleared the building while they searched for a suspect.

City Attorney John Choi has charged 42-year-old Charleeta Brown with falsely reporting a crime. Choi says the woman's actions are "akin to yelling fire in a crowded theater.''
