W.G. Rice Elementary School, part of the South Middleton Area School District, locked down while police looked for the man, authorities say. 

Zachary Kramer, 20, of Carlisle was found with a backpack that contained a realistic air soft gun, suspected drugs, and drug paraphernalia, PSP said.

The school's lockdown only lasted from 9 to 9:45 a.m., according to the school. 

None of Kramer's threats were directly related toward the local schools, according to state police.

Charges against Kramer include risking a catastrophe, evading arrest or detention on foot, disorderly conduct, terroristic threats, possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
