Overview
- Federal agents working with Folsom police arrested Curt Taras, 53, on an allegation he possessed a firearm in a school zone stemming from the Sept. 24 Folsom High School incident.
- Taras is expected to make his first appearance in federal court on Friday, officials said.
- Days earlier, investigators identified Taras on the Sandra J. Gallardo Elementary campus on a non‑student day, leading to his arrest for violating a restraining or court order after he had been barred from district property.
- Police said online claims that he was armed during the elementary school sighting were false and noted he was booked into jail and later released on bail.
- Authorities increased security at district schools with extra officers and active school resource officer patrols, as the Sacramento County District Attorney said it will ask a judge to deny bail at his arraignment.
