CRAIG, Colorado (KKTV) – A man is in custody after allegedly lurking near an elementary school for two days.

Craig Police said they received several calls from concerned citizens on September 3 and 4.

“[Police] received several complaints about a suspicious man being seen in the area of ​​Sunset Elementary School. Initial reports indicate the man was hanging around the area of ​​the school this week during drop off times and observing the children,” police said.

Officers were able to identify the suspect as 62-year-old local resident Kurt Frentress. On the 5th, he was reportedly found sitting under a tree just a few feet from the school.
