Man Jailed for Allegedly Lying to Police About Santee Security Guard Shooting

An ex-security guard who allegedly lied about getting into an exchange of gunfire while patrolling near Gillespie Field three weeks ago was jailed Friday on suspicion of filing a false police report and other charges.

Detectives arrested Lance Wright, 22, at his Lakeside home about 12:30 p.m., sheriff’s Sgt. Scott Enyeart said.
