Man accused of pointing gun at S.C. school bus with children inside
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - Federal agents arrested a South Carolina man this week, accused of pointing a gun at a school bus with children inside.
The Horry County Police Department says it responded on May 7 to the area of Investors Boulevard in the Myrtle Beach area for past harassment.
One of the worst invasive species in a lifetime infesting S.C.
A green pest that's native to China is being called the most invasive forest pest of our generation – and it’s attacking trees in South Carolina.
A police report states that an officer then spoke with a bus driver for the Horry County School District.
The driver reportedly told police they were dropping children off from school earlier in the day in the area of Scorpio Lane and Crystal Lake Drive and saw the suspect, identified as 34-year-old Emmanuel Ingram, at one of the stops.
Ingram’s arrest warrants state that several students and a bystander saw Ingram with a small black handgun, “which he did point at the bus.”
Ingram also got on the bus and started to yell at the bus driver and the children, the police report states. The bus driver asked Ingram to get off, but police said he refused to.
Once he did leave, the bus driver drove away, and an officer reviewing security footage heard a child say, “He had a gun,” according to the report.
The officer did note that they could not see if the suspect had a gun in the security footage due to the angle and quality of the cameras.
The US Marshals Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested Ingram on Wednesday.
Ingram is facing multiple charges, including three counts of pointing and presenting, and interfering with the operation of a school bus, jail records show. He’s booked with no bail set at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center.
Horry County Schools sent the following comment on the case.
