A 14-year-old Buffalo boy is accused of trying to get two girls to touch him inappropriately while the three were riding on a school bus for handicapped children.

The boy was charged Friday by the Union County Sheriff’s Office with indecent exposure and committing a lewd act on a minor. The boy’s name was not released because of his age. His case will be handled in Family Court.

Lewis Jeter, assistant superintendent for personnel and student services with Union County Schools, said the bus driver had made school administration aware that there was a problem before a parent of one of the girls made a report to the sheriff’s office. Jeter said the boy had already been removed from school and no longer was riding the bus when the report was made.

Two girls, who are 14 and 15, told Sgt. Dee Haney that the boy made one of them touch his private parts and also asked the other girl to touch him.

The girl forced to touch the boy said he told her if she told on him he would kill her. The girls said the boy had exposed himself on more than one occasion on the bus.

The incidents occurred on a school bus near the Riley Road between May 4 and May 11, the day the report was taken.

Inmate charged

Authorities said an inmate at the Union County Detention Center was angry about a change in the barbering policy when he charged at an officer.

Christopher Chamberlain, 35, of 105 Hodges St., Union, was charged Sunday by the sheriff’s office with malicious damage to property and assaulting a police officer. He is being held in the Union County Jail.

Detention Center Director Niel McKeown said there was a change in the facility’s policy and only two inmates were designated as barbers. Chamberlain didn’t agree with this and tried to take possession of clippers owned by the county.

Officer Albert Roark took the clippers away from Chamberlain.

Chamberlain later came to the booking office. As Roark opened the door, Chamberlain tried to force his way in by charging at Roark. Roark’s arm was cut when he had to push the door back to keep Chamberlain out.

Roark called for assistance from deputies to put Chamberlain in a holding cell. While in the cell, Chamberlain did $1,300 damage to the door.

McKeown said Chamberlain is serving a six-month sentence for failure to pay child support. He began serving the sentence in November.

Chamberlain was arrested approximately three years ago for causing similar damage at the detention center.
