A Hillsboro man has been charged with inducing panic and disorderly conduct after attempted to stop a Hillsboro City Schools school bus on North Shore Drive at 6:25 a.m. on Sept. 21. Timothy W. Brown II, 34, was arrested after he approached the school vehicle, claiming he was being chased by several people trying to kill him. The driver immediately notified school officials, who in turn called the Sheriff’s Office. A deputy located Brown and took him into custody after determining he was under the influence of drugs and not in any danger.

Deputies were dispatched to a business in the 8000 block of US 50 at 6:10 a.m. on Sept. 23 after receiving several reports of a domestic dispute allegedly involving a male holding a knife to a female’s throat. However, neither party wished to file an offense report, saying the argument was only verbal and no knife was involved.

A deputy was dispatched to a residence on State Route 124 at 11:55 a.m. on Sept. 23 to investigate graffiti spray painted on a garage door. A child of the homeowner was found to be responsible, and there was no need for alarm. No report was taken, and no charges were necessary.
