It was scene of wanton wreckage late Saturday night when Nelson Police Department officers arrived at the school after answering the alarm call, with several computers demolished and windows smashed out
When police did a sweep of the area they found a lone man hiding in the bushes. He subsequently fled, but was chased down and arrested a few blocks later.
