Police say a registered sex offender who was peering into classrooms of a Flagstaff high school has been arrested.

Authorities say 38-year-old Jerrod Schmidt has been booked into Coconino County Jail on charges of trespassing and violating sex offender registration requirements.

According to Flagstaff police, officers were called Friday morning about a man who had climbed a tree and was looking into unoccupied classrooms at Summit High School.

School officials say Schmidt fled when they confronted him.

Police located him at a mall and learned of his sex offender status and that he had been evicted 10 days earlier.

Mall security also confirmed Schmidt previously trespassed there.
