Nottingham Man Charged After Jumping On Front Of School Bus: Report

PARKVILLE, MD — A Perry Hall area man has been charged after authorities said he jumped onto a school bus filled with children from Loch Raven Technical Academy. The man reportedly clung to the front of the moving bus once a bottle was thrown at his car, a projectile he alleged came from inside the school bus.

First, the man tried to get in through the school bus door, but the driver declined to open it for safety reasons, Fox 45 reported. The man then grabbed onto the hood of the bus, which headed for the Parkville precinct.

Leverne Doran was taken into custody in the area of Putty Hill at Hoerner Avenue at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 5, according to Fox 45.

Doran, 68, of the 4100 block of Slater Avenue in Nottingham, was charged with the following offenses, court records show:

• Disorderly conduct
• Obstructing a school bus driver
• Disturbing the peace/hindering passage
• Destruction of property valued at $1,000

Doran was released from the Baltimore County Detention Center on Friday, Oct. 6, according to court records.

A video that appeared to have been created from inside the bus, behind the driver, showed a man in an NRA hat hanging onto the exterior mirror and hood of the bus, banging his fist, shaking his finger and yelling.

"Open the door!" the man later identified as Doran yelled.

"Get off the bus!" the bus driver said on the video.

An off-duty officer in the area intervened, and Doran was arrested, Baltimore County Police Sgt. Andrea Bylen told WBAL.

According to the TV station, the children were unharmed.
