Burrito leads to school lockdown with armed officers on roofs { May 2 2005 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.wftv.com/news/4437950/detail.html http://www.wftv.com/news/4437950/detail.html Burrito Leads To School Lockdown, Armed Officers On Roof Tops POSTED: 9:09 am EDT May 2, 2005 UPDATED: 12:33 pm EDT May 2, 2005 CLOVIS, N.M. -- A 911 call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers on rooftops, close nearby streets and lock down the school. All over a giant burrito. Someone called authorities Thursday after seeing a boy carrying something long and wrapped up into Marshall Junior High School. The drama ended two hours later when the suspicious item was identified as a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapenos. It was wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt. "I didn't know whether to laugh or cry," school Principal Diana Russell said. Russell said the mystery was solved after she brought everyone in the school together in the auditorium to explain what was going on. Afterward, eighth-grader Michael Morrissey approached her. "He said, 'I think I'm the person they saw,"' Russell said. The burrito was part of Morrissey's extra-credit assignment to create commercial advertising for a product. "We had to make up a product and it could have been anything. I made up a restaurant that specialized in oddly large burritos," Morrissey said. After students heard the description of what police were looking for, he and his friends began to make the connection. He then took the burrito to the office. "I have a new nickname now. It's Burrito Boy," Morrissey said. Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press.
