COLORADO SPRINGS — A Colorado Springs woman is seen smiling big after she was arrested for allegedly laying on school property with Samurai swords and knives, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
Jillian Haddon, 29, was arrested in connection to the incident on the Vanguard School campus on Friday morning.
Although there were no specific threats, police said that school administrators reported a woman laying along an exterior wall on school property with two large Samurai swords and knives on and near her.
Because she didn’t have any “legitimate business” to be on campus, police arrested her without incident.
She was booked into jail for having weapons on school grounds.

Found the shirt.
Uhhhh... it’s called a katana. (Directed at the author of the article)
Based on the mugshot and the description of the incident, I suspect mental illness and/or drug use may be a factor.
Maybe watched to many killer chick movies.
I hate to be picky, but this also shows the faults of the media: writers and editors. “Lying down” is what people do on the ground. We “lay” THINGS down on the ground. So she laid the swords on the ground before she laid down...yes, I checked, to make things more confusing, “laid” is the past participle of “lie” as well as “lay.
However “laying” in this context of this headline is all wrong. The error in grammar is driving me crazy.
People in the state of Florida sigh deeply with relief.
“She’s not one of ours, this time!”
Did this have anything to do with ‘Cutting Classes’?
Pot has had such a beneficial effect on the populace in CO.
She can blame it on “high altitude sickness” …
People lie down, chickens lay eggs.
(Chickens have down.)
Illegally LAYING?
Apart from the grammar issues, is it a crime to lie down on public property with a Samurai sword?
Reading that was like fingernails on a chalk board. I thought maybe there was an alternative meaning of “lay.”
Laying who?
Sorry...
“People lie down, chickens lay eggs.”
Which reminds me...
A teacher at a rural school asks one of her students, “If a hen is on her nest, is she sitting or setting?”
The student replies, “I don’t care about that. When I hear her cackle, I want to know if she’s laying or lying.”
I can excuse the occasional error in headlines, but to make such a silly mistake in the body of the article is only softened by it coming from a TV station. They aren’t the best of writers.
I don’t think I’ve ever lived anywhere where it was legal to walk around with a katana...
Pong
She used to be a teacher who cut students hair in class for free
/s
“Colorado Springs woman accused of laying on school property...”
And there’s another strong connotation you didn’t mention...like “knowing” someone in the biblical sense.
