~ Press release issued by Page County Sheriff’s Office
LURAY, Sept. 26 — On September 24, 2026, while on another call for service in the area of Dovel Hollow Road, a Page County Sheriff’s Deputy was flagged down and told that there was an individual on a school bus yelling profanities and scaring the kids.
The deputy immediately responded to the area of the 700 block of Dovel Hollow where he located the bus in question. He was advised that the individual that was on the bus had already left the area.
Shortly thereafter, a video of the incident was uploaded to social media. Upon reviewing the video, and interviewing the witnesses involved, warrants were obtained on the suspect.
The suspect was identified as DANIEL WADE YOUNG, 39, of Stanley, Virginia. The responding deputy presented probable cause to the magistrate, who issued warrants for the following;
§ 18.2-119 – Trespassing on school property
§ 18.2-415 – Disorderly conduct
The investigation is still ongoing, and additional charges may be pending. Young turned himself in to the Page County Jail and was arrested on Friday, Sept. 25. He was released by the magistrate on a $2,500 unsecured bond.
We would like to thank Page County Public Schools for their swift involvement and cooperation in this case. At this time, no additional information will be released.
All subjects are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

What about the bullying? Apparently he got on the bus because his daughter had been badly bullied and nothing had been done about it. Per FB posts, the bullying continues
Yelling profanities is not going to help
It would have been better for him to ask permission to ride on the bus with his daughter for a specific reason. Permission would have been denied, but it shows he tried first. Then just make the sacrifice and board the bus. The driver would have told him to get off. Dad refuses. Police are called. Then whether or not he cooperated with the police he gets arrested or he dismounts the bus after making the statement (making a scene). Repeat if necessary. His daughter will appreciate it forever. And maybe the other students too.
