Simone L. Brooks, 35, of Lower Paxton Township is facing a raft of charges after repeated incidents involving elementary school students at a bus stop on her block

A Pennsylvania woman was busted this week after threatening to bludgeon elementary school-aged children to death with a shovel at a school bus stop in the latest unnerving event to shock an already-jittery nation.

Simone L. Brooks, 35, of Lower Paxton Township, was reportedly charged with making terroristic threats, stalking, and harassment in connection with several incidents that occurred at a bus stop on her block.



Additionally, Brooks reportedly performed a 'simulated strip tease,' before the tykes while perched on her porch in nothing but a bath towel. She reportedly yelled at them during this bit of exhibitionism.

Brooks was taken into custody Friday morning outside her home on the 4100 block of Linden Street, authorities told Pennlive.com, and as of Friday was being being held in lieu of $50,000 bond at Dauphin County Prison.

The arrest comes exactly a week after the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in which 20 children and six adult teachers and staff were mercilessly massacred by gunman Adam Lanza. Lanza concluded the shooting by taking his own life.
