On 03/04/2025 at approximately 0927 hours Reporting Deputy First Class (R/D) Vida Davis Badge #673 was performing her official duties for the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office Juvenile Division located at 180 Constitution Blvd., Dallas, GA 30132 in Paulding County, Georgia. R/D received a mandatory report about a bus incident involving a parent and students at Hutchens Elementary School located at 586 Clonts RD, Douglasville, GA 30134 in Paulding County, Georgia.
R/D met with administrator Doctor [WITNESS #1] when she arrived at Hutchens Elementary School. Dr. [WITNESS #1] told R/D that on 03/03/2025 it was reported to her that Juvenile Victim [VICTIM #1] and Juvenile Witness [WITNESS #2] had been fighting on the bus and that she was investigating the incident. Dr. [WITNESS #1] stated that before she could watch the bus video of the incident, Juvenile Witness [WITNESS #2]’s mother, identified as Anderia Danae McClain, decided to board the bus on the morning of 03/04/2025 and confront Juvenile Victim [VICTIM #1]. R/D collected the bus video and statements from Dr. [WITNESS #1].
On 03/04/2025 R/D viewed the bus video. R/D observed the following: The bus stopped and a female juvenile boarded the bus. Then you see Juvenile Witness [WITNESS #2] board the bus and Ms. McClain followed him on the bus. Ms. [WITNESS #3] told Ms. McClain she couldn’t be on the bus. Ms. McClain appears to ignore Ms. [WITNESS #3]. Then Juvenile Witness [WITNESS #2] points to Juvenile Victim [VICTIM #1], who was sitting in the front seat of the bus by the door. Ms. McClain starts confronting Juvenile Victim [VICTIM #1] and then starts arguing with Ms. [WITNESS #3]. Ms. [WITNESS #3] continued to tell Ms. McClain that she needed to get off the bus. When Ms. [WITNESS #3] told Ms. McClain that she was calling the police, Ms. McClain stated “call them”, and told Juvenile Witness [WITNESS #2] to come with her. As Ms. McClain was exiting the bus and in front of the students on the bus she used the word Fu*k. All the students on the bus were under the age of 14 years old.
On 03/04/2025 at approximately 1217 hours R/D had a phone conversation, that was recorded with her body camera, with the bus driver, [WITNESS #1]. Ms. [WITNESS #3] had written a statement, but R/D wanted to find out if Ms. McClain had said any curse words during the incident or made any threats to her. Ms. [WITNESS #3] told R/D that she didn’t hear any curse words, but she did hear what Ms. McClain stated to Juvenile Victim [VICTIM #1]. Ms. [WITNESS #3] heard Ms. McClain state to Juvenile Victim [VICTIM #1], “Don’t put your hands on my child again or else”. Ms. [WITNESS #3] also told R/D that Juvenile Witness [WITNESS #2], Ms. McClain’s child, was messing with Juvenile Victim [VICTIM #1] just as much.
On 03/10/2025 at approximately 1208 called Juvenile Victim [VICTIM #1]’s mother, identified as [REDACTED] at [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. R/D was not able to make contact by phone with Ms. [REDACTED], so she left a message on the voice message to contact R/D back to discuss the incident.
After watching the bus video and reading the witness statements R/D secured warrants for Ms. McClain’s arrest for the following charges: GA O.C.G.A. 20-2-1181 Disruption/Public/Schools a Misdemeanor (1 count); GA O.C.G.A. 16-11-39(a)(4) Disorderly Conduct a Misdemeanor (1 count) and O.C.G.A. 16-5-20 Simple Assault a Misdemeanor (1 count). On 03/10/2025 Judge Martin Valbuena signed warrant #25-1018 Disruption/Public/Schools, warrant #25-1019 Simple Assault, and #25-1020 Disorderly Conduct. R/D delivered the signed warrants to the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office Warrant Division on 03/10/2025.
R/D submitted the statements to the Paulding County Juvenile Division to be attached to this report under Case #202503040054. The only time R/D’s issued body worn camera was activated is when she spoke with Ms. [WITNESS #3]. R/D submitted (2) DVD recordings into the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office Evidence room under Case #202503040054. R/D didn’t receive any reports of injuries from this incident.
