Investigation Launched After Man Boarded County School Bus

Suitland, MD- Prince George’s County Police Department officers and detectives responded to an incident on Suitland Road involving a school bus carrying elementary students. On Thursday at approximately 2:05 PM, a 911 call reported a man boarding the bus. Officers arrived promptly, stopping the bus by 2:09 PM and confirming the students’ safety while noting that the man was no longer aboard.
