Murphy said there was no actual danger to the school at any time.
Arrest follows car theft
Stacy Johnson, who was renting a car from JW Auto Cars in Iola, told Iola police officers Sunday the car had been stolen.
With the assistance of the St. Joseph, Mo., Police Department, the car was recovered in St. Joseph, and Joseph Wyatt, 38, was arrested for suspected felony theft of a motor vehicle.

Trailer stolen
A 20-foot black dump trailer was reported stolen from a shed in northern Allen County earlier this month. Deputies said, along with the trailer valued at $1,300, two game cameras had been taken, and several pieces of machinery had been tampered with and damaged.
Attempted break-in
Deputies were called to a break-in in progress at 909 W. Hickory in Gas on March 6. The area was canvassed and no suspects were located.
A break-in at the same residence also was investigated in February.
Bumper bender
Shauna West told a deputy that she struck the back of a Ford van, driven by Leslie Hillbrant, with her 2011 Chevy Traverse on Madison Avenue while waiting at the Jefferson Avenue stoplight. The van’s rear bumper and right rear corner were damaged in the collision.
Shed fire ‘suspicious’
Iola police officers said a shed fire Monday at 401 N. Kentucky St. appeared to be intentionally set.
Officers noted the same shed had burned in a similar type of fire on Nov. 2.
Anyone with information regarding either incident is encouraged to contact the Iola Police Department.
