Butler police seek man who jumped on school bus, threatened students
Butler City Police are seeking a warrant for a man who a Valley Lines bus driver said got on a school bus at 7 a.m. Thursday and reportedly threatened students and used profanity.
The driver told police she instructed the man to get off the bus multiple times before he disembarked.
A news release from Bob O’Neill, police chief, said officers used video to identify the man.
O’Neill said it appears the incident is related to a dispute between students, and the man decided to intercede.
“The male will be identified once a warrant is secured,” O’Neill said in the release.
He said the situation appears to be an isolated incident and that officers will continue to monitor bus traffic in the morning and evening runs.
The Butler Area School District notified parents of the incident, O’Neill said.
He did not provide details on the age range or grade levels of the students on the bus.
