Spring ISD statement 

What they're saying:

Spring ISD sent the following statement to FOX 26:  

Spring ISD is aware of an incident this morning at a bus stop involving an unknown male who approached a district bus shortly after students boarded. The individual spoke to the bus driver and asked for a ride, however, our driver denied the request and drove off. Harris County Precinct 4 officers responded to the scene and the individual was arrested.
We are aware of a social media post that implies that the individual attempted to remove a student from the bus. That has turned out to be unfounded and is not true. At no point did the individual attempt to remove a student from the bus. As always, Spring ISD prioritizes the safety and security of our students.

What we don't know:

Officials have not named the suspect.
