A Hillsboro man has been charged with inducing panic and disorderly conduct after attempting to stop a Hillsboro City Schools school bus on North Shore Drive at 6:25 a.m. on Sept. 21 . Timothy W. Brown II, 34, was arrested after he approached the school vehicle claiming he was being chased by several people trying to kill him.
