TBS Today, Sept. 18
Many people were concerned when Robert Clear didn't show up for AM drop-off at Emerson Elementary on Tuesday.
As it turned out, "Mr. Bob" had been just blocks away when police say a driver intentionally struck him after running down two other people.
Clear's history at Emerson dates back to the 1950s.
"Every parent and kid knows him," said Lori Droste, former council rep for the district.
