On Friday, the Brentwood Police Department took a man into custody who ran onto the football field during a Heritage High School football game.
According to preliminary information, the man is Carlos Hurtado, an ex-teacher at Heritage High School, who was recently separated from the District. It is unconfirmed by the District if he resigned or was terminated–however, a social media post on his own page says he was “forced to resign”.
During Fridays game, Hurtado ran onto the field and avoided both Brentwood Police and security before a Granada High School coach tackled him to the ground with a stiff shoulder.
Emails Friday night to the Brentwood Police Department, Heritage High School Principal Casey Lewis and Superintendent Eric Volta have not yet been returned. No update has been provided as of 8:20 am Saturday.
According to the Contra Costa County Sheriffs office, Carlos Hurtado was arrested and has a bail amount of $3,000.
It is unclear what the mans intention was with running onto the field, if he was armed, or simply was seeking attention.
