A school bus driver from Eliot accused of threatening a child was taken into custody on Friday.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Hampshire says 39-year-old Michael Chick was assigned to a bus route in Greenland, New Hampshire. He allegedly threatened a child and their family and traveled from Maine to New Hampshire to make the threats.

He was charged with interstate stalking.

According to court documents, Chick gave cell phones to an 8-year-old and told them to make a video or an organization called “The Team” would kidnap them.

Police also found GPS trackers on the child’s parent’s vehicles.

Chick made his initial court appearance on Monday.
