A 35-year-old man from Rome is facing multiple charges for causing a lockdown at Rome High and Rome Middle Schools. Dalton Reese Clay pointed a BB gun resembling an AR-15 rifle at another driver, then fled from police, reaching 95 mph on Veterans Memorial Highway. He drove erratically in school traffic on Wolf Drive, prompting the lockdown. Clay abandoned his vehicle and ran into the woods, where he was found with a large machete. He is charged with multiple offenses, including eluding police, carrying a weapon on school grounds, disrupting school activities, assault, reckless driving, and obstruction of officers.
