A man by the name of Marvin Correll Dickerson, age 30, was arrested after walking into Mitchell Neilson Elementary and telling staff he was from another school and wanted to “look around” on Monday. When staff further questioned the Rose Avenue man, he admitted that he was not really an employee of another school and that he was there to “make children happy.”  The principal of the school hit the panic alarm in the school’s office and Murfreesboro police were summoned. Officers found Dickerson walking near the school. Authorities say he did not have any I.D. on him when he was stopped and questioned. Dickerson was charged with criminal trespass.
