A 35-year-old Dorchester man allegedly picked up a 15-year-old female student from Ottoson Middle School during the day Wednesday and drove her to a location away from school grounds.

Jose Alexis Rodriguez-Laboy, of 43 Winthrop St., Dorchester, was arrested Thursday evening at his home by Boston and Arlington officers. He has been charged with indecent assault and battery and more criminal charges may follow, police said.

Police believe Rodriguez-Laboy recently met the student in an online chat room. The student returned to school later in the day, Arlington Police Chief Frederick Ryan wrote in a Thursday email.

Investigators believe Rodriguez-Laboy acted alone and that there is no threat to public safety at this time.

Rodriguez-Laboy is scheduled to be arraigned in Cambridge District Court Friday, Dec. 6.

The student left Ottoson without authorization, police said. According to Ryan, no other students were ever in any danger, however, strictly as a precautionary measure, the school was placed into a very brief “shelter in place,” as police sorted out the facts of the case.
