A probable cause statement filed Tuesday says Akers was told by a victim he would need to go to the OACAC office for that. Angered, Akers allegedly punched the school bus and exited, screaming profanities at two of the people aboard the bus and flipping them off.
A warrant for Akers' arrest was issued Wednesday and served later that day. Akers was arrested and booked in the Lawrence County Jail on one charge of first-degree robbery. He was denied bond and ordered to have no contact with the alleged victims through any means.
