Three Edmonton Catholic schools were put on alert Wednesday morning because a man followed a student into school.

According to a police spokesperson, two men followed a student to Archbishop O'Leary Catholic High School and one continued to follow them inside.

He was arrested by the school resource officer with help from a school resource officer assigned to neighbouring junior high school, St. Cecilia.

The 36-year-old was charged with trespassing and resisting arrest, the spokesperson said.

He was released and ordered to avoid the area. 

According to the school division, O'Leary, St. Cecilia, and nearby St. Matthew Elementary School were all put on alert, as was requested by police.

During an alert, a school's doors are locked and no one can enter or exit the building, but classes continue.
