Milford High School Staff Praised for Handling of Unwanted Male

School officials are being praised for their handling of a male who entered Milford High School under the guise of enrolling his younger brother at the school.

Milford superintendent Robert Tremblay noted the actions of staff at a recent school committee meeting.

“I want compliment the team here because I think sometimes stories have a way of becoming negative when it’s actually a positive story,” Tremblay said.

On April 30, a man identified as Timothy Allen entered the building under the ruse. According to Tremblay, Allen was accompanied by staff members at all times and police, the administrative team, and student resource officers were notified of the man upon his entry into the building.

“It speaks to how effective our security is in our schools and how tight it is and how if someone doesn’t belong, we know and we address it, “ Tremblay said. “It could happen in any other school but how you handle it should be commended.”

Allen was arrested once he left the school. He was charged with receiving a stolen motor vehicle, trespassing, carry a dangerous weapon on school property, and stalking.
