Charged Overton mother calls for investigation after Thursday incident

An incident unfolded at Overton Elementary School on Thursday that ended with a mother of three students in handcuffs, as well as the school briefly going into lockdown. According to that mother, Shelly Rorie, she went to the school to file a complaint about the bus driver that operates the route that her three children take. Rorie said in a phone call on Thursday that the driver had left her children at the bus stop multiple times in addition to driving in a way she described as reckless and dangerous. The Rowan-Salisbury Schools marketing and communications director confirmed that a complaint was made and that like any formal complaints made by parents, the school system is investigating it. What happened next at the school is not 100 percent clear. The school resource officer, who is a uniformed law enforcement officer and not a staff member of the school system, initiated an arrest on Rorie, who was ultimately charged with disorderly conduct.
