POCATELLO - For the second time this week, a District 25 school is placed on lockdown.

Police surrounded the Lincoln Early Childhood Center on Oakwood Drive at noon, after learning about threats toward a student.

The girl is home and safe.

Within an hour, parents were picking up their kids from the school, but officers remained on scene as a precaution.

The threats were allegedly made by Thomas Arellano, the same man accused of prompting a lockdown at Pocatello High School Monday.

Idaho law allows state agencies to divert some state income tax refunds to pay legal obligations like court fees, child support, and sheriff's garnishments. Taxpayers whose refunds have been diverted have no legal recourse. What do you think of the law?

  • Times are tight. If the state needs the money, this approach is better than budget cuts, tax hikes, etc.
  • I'm entitled to the refund, and the state can just take it? Unfair and ridiculous.
  • Not sure.
