Upon arrival Officer Timothy Janus spoke with the principal of Spring Glen School and a 10 year-old student. The student stated that as she was walking from her home on Putnam Avenue to the bus stop, which is located at the corner of Putnam Avenue and Clifford Street, she was approached by a female that was operating a motor vehicle.
