The Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office received information of a social media post alleging a white male in a white van was making contact with children who were waiting on the bus in a neighboring parish Wednesday at approximately 10 a.m.

Deputies were given the description of the vehicle and a sergeant, assigned to the Patrol Division Resident Deputy Program in the Glenmora area, located the vehicle at the intersection of LA Hwy 113 and Joe Ray Rd in Plainview.  The vehicle was occupied by a subject appearing to be asleep at the wheel. 

The Sergeant initiated contact with the occupant, identified as Clyde Edward Krider, 65 of Glenmora.  After identification was made a warrant check was conducted, Krider was found to have an active warrant through the Louisiana Department Probation and Parole-Leesville Field Office for a parole violation.   

Krider was placed under arrest for the active warrant and transported to the Rapides Parish Detention Center and booked.  It was also discovered Krider was a Level 2 registered sex offender. 

Krider remains in jail at the time of this release and no bond has been set.

Detectives assigned to the Sex Offender Registry will be conducting a follow-up investigation.
