The father allegedly followed the school bus as well as several middle school students from their bus and bus stop. Police said this caused “extreme fear” to the children and led them to have to hide under a nearby deck to avoid him.

Police are seeking to charge the Auburn man, who has not been publicly identified, with disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace, according to the post.
