East Windsor Walmart Briefly Evacuated

A big-box store in east Windsor was briefly evacuated Sunday.

Multiple Windsor police cruisers were dispatched to the Walmart store on Tecumseh Rd E near Lauzon Pkwy around 6pm on a report of someone with a mental health issue.

The store was evacuated as a precaution of customers and employees, and police did an aisle-by-aisle check. A person was eventually taken into custody.

Employees were allowed to re-enter the store within the hour.

There's been no information released on the person involved or what exactly prompted the police to be called.
