Overview

• Antonio Roman, 61, faces four counts of stalking, two counts of battery, and two counts of battery on a disabled person, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
• Investigators say he admitted using home surveillance to track the school bus and manually trigger sprinklers aimed at the stop.
• Deputies and video evidence documented the sprinklers activating when the bus arrived and shutting off as it left.
• An arrest warrant issued in June preceded his Aug. 17 surrender in Ocala; inmate records show he was later released on bond and is due in court on Sept. 16.
• The family reported more than a year of twice-daily sprayings—about 400 incidents—linked to his objection to the bus stop using part of his driveway for a wheelchair ramp.
