Jackson Co deputies probe possible abduction attempt

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating what might have been the attempted abduction of two students on a Jackson County school bus.

The bus driver tells investigators an older white man, balding with gray hair, approached the bus at a bus stop on Jett Roberts Road in Jefferson, asking for two children by name. The driver says he did not recognize the man as a parent of either of the children and kept the students on the bus. He says  the man drove off in a gray four-door car.

Police were, at last report, trying to find the car and the driver.
