LAKE STEVENS, Wash. – Students on board a school bus got a scare Friday morning when a man pushed his way on board, yelled at the kids and took some of the their backpacks.
It happened at about 8:45 a.m. in the 3400 block of 97th Drive SE as the bus was taking kids to Glenwood Elementary School.
"He literally pushed through that door and got on the bus," said Kristine Rayevich. Her 10-year-old stepdaughter had just gotten on the bus when a neighbor started pounding on Kristine's door.
"'Call 911. Call 911' and she's like 'there's a man on the bus with the kids,'" said Kristine.
Just minutes earlier at another stop, a student says the man stole his backpack. Witnesses say the man then climbed into a pickup and drove to the next stop. There, he climbed on the bus, snatching children's backpacks and screaming at them, saying "let's see how much your parents really love you."
Rayevich ran onto the bus.
"They're all crying, screaming hysterical and I looked at him, and I said 'that's not your backpack.' I said 'that's one of the kids' backpacks.'"
As the children sat terrified, the man screamed at Rayevich and ran off the bus.
"They're sitting there scared and crying and saying 'I want my mom,' so it was scary. Very, very scary," said Kristine.
Sheriff's deputies arrived a few minutes later and arrested the man. He faces charges of robbery for taking the backpacks and kidnapping for boarding the bus.
Neighbors say it was just a couple of days ago that deputies were at the man's home for another problem.
