Catasauqua Borough Police were called to the Innovative Arts Academy Charter School, 330 Howertown Road, Catasauqua, early Tuesday morning in response to a report of a man, brandishing a screwdriver, who entered the facility without authorization.

According to a borough police news release, the incident occurred around 8 a.m.

Police say before entering the building, Rafael J. Maldonado, 37, of 212 Second St., Catasauqua, ran up the street to the entrance of the school gym. Although school security restrained him, Maldonado eventually broke free and entered the gym.

Borough Police Chief Douglas Kish told The Press Maldonado was under the influence of cocaine.

“He was high on drugs,” Kish said, adding Maldonado admitted to authorities on the scene he was high.

The news release stated Maldonado was shirtless and was wearing pajama pants and socks.

When borough police arrived at the scene, they properly restrained Maldonado and placed him under arrest.

“Nobody was injured,” Kish said.

Maldonado was transported to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg for treatment.

Kish noted there is a warrant out for Maldonado’s arrest. He said Tuesday the police department was working on the specifics of the charges to be filed as a result of the incident.
