CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A man who allegedly boarded a school bus outside East Bank Middle School and smacked a 14-year-old student should never have been allowed on the bus in the first place, Kanawha school officials said Wednesday.
[..] State Police say Joshua Shawn Beaver, 25, of Pratt, followed the school bus from Crown Hill to the parking lot at East Bank Middle School. Beaver said students on the bus flashed the middle finger at him. On the bus surveillance video, Beaver asked the bus driver if he wanted to know which students flashed their middle finger. "Yeah," the driver said.
Beaver walked onto the bus. He looked back at the students and said, "come here" to one, then told other children who were standing, "excuse me," as he began to walk toward the back of the bus. The bus driver took off his seat belt and walked toward Beaver.
Beaver saw one of the students on the bus and confronted him. Video shows the bus driver stood next to Beaver as this happened."Remember my name now: It's Josh Beaver," he told the student. "I appreciate you flipping me off all the way down the road."
The boy said he did it only once, but Beaver said he flashed his middle finger more than once. Beaver turned to a second student on the other side of the aisle and said, "You too, boy. My name's Josh Beaver. You know me now."
State Police said Beaver then smacked a 14-year-old in the back of the head. It was unclear in the video whom was struck, as the view was obstructed.
The bus driver, with Beaver following behind, then walked to the front of the bus. As the driver sat down, Beaver talked briefly with students before he walked off the bus. Beckett said the man obviously should not have been allowed on the school bus. "Could it have been done better? Yes," he said.
State Police charged Beaver with assault of a child near a school, which carries a penalty of five to 15 years in prison. Kanawha Magistrate Paris Workman arraigned Beaver Tuesday and set bail at $5,000 cash only for the felony charge. Beaver, who was transported to the South Central Regional Jail, has also been charged with an unrelated misdemeanor for making harassing telephone calls.
