An aide on a bus was threatened by a student, according to a police report.

Schools Superintendent Robert Rostan contacted school-resource officer D.J. Aldish to investigate, the report says.

The incident happened at 3:52 p.m. Thursday.

The aide told Aldish that after he told a student to stop being disruptive, the student’s brother stood up, swore at him, then reached into his shirt pocket and stated, “Why don’t I ... stick you right now.”

After a “tense moment,” the brother sat down again, and the bus ride continued without another altercation, the report says.

The aide was told charges would be pursued.
