Overview
- Bond was set at $2.2 million across the aggravated assault and attempted aggravated kidnapping counts and $2.5 million for the terroristic threat charge, totaling about $6.9 million.
- The 20-year-old faces charges of aggravated assault on a public servant with a deadly weapon, attempted aggravated kidnapping, and terroristic threat, and a judge issued an emergency protective order for the student.
- Court records say he used an SUV to block the bus, boarded with what investigators described as a rifle, tried to pull an ex-girlfriend off the bus, and said, "I'll get you later."
- Surveillance footage from the bus and a nearby home helped identify him, and authorities say he pointed the weapon at the driver and some of the 24 students onboard; no injuries were reported.
- The U.S. Marshals’ Gulf Coast Violent Offender Task Force arrested him and turned him over to Spring ISD Police, and the district reports no ongoing threat as it adds short-term security measures.
