A Mr. Ding-A-Ling ice cream truck driver has been arrested for allegedly stalking young girls in Upstate New York.

The Post-Star reports Charles A. Ross, 57, was arrested Tuesday on a felony stalking charge and three misdemeanors. Police say he followed a group of girls, ages 12 and 13, and took photos or videos of them while driving the ice cream truck in South Glens Falls.

South Glens Falls Police Chief Kevin Judd said Ross was charged after an investigation stemming from an Oct. 3 complaint that an ice cream truck driver allegedly followed the girls near Oliver Winch Middle School. Police were called but he left before they could locate him.

According to the Associated Press, South Glens Falls Police worked with State Police and the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office to identify the driver as Ross. He was charged Tuesday with felony stalking, misdemeanor stalking and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

The Post-Star reports Ross was also accused of photographing children in Lake George earlier this year. However, charges were not able to filed as he did not follow the kids and taking pictures and video in public places is not illegal.

Ross was charged with stalking this time because he followed the children, South Glens Falls Police Patrolman David Gifford said, and the charge rose to a felony because the alleged victims were under 14 years old.

"It appears he escalated his behavior," Warren County Sheriff's Lt. Steve Stockdale told the Post-Star.

WNYT reports Ross is currently being held in Saratoga County Jail.

South Glens Falls Police Patrolman David Gifford told the Post-Star that investigators have obtained a warrant to search his phone and computers for photos or videos he may have taken.

NBC reports Mr. Ding-A-Ling has not responded to press inquiries about Ross' arrest.

The Post-Star reports the owner of the ice cream franchise in Latham, N.Y., was notified by sheriff's officers of allegations against Ross, but allowed him to continue operating a company vehicle.
