Texas school bus driver fired after not noticing 3 drunk women riding with kids
A school bus driver in Texas was fired and three women face charges after the women allegedly boarded a bus filled with middle-school students and rode to school, officials said.
The alleged incident occurred last Friday on a bus from the North East Independent School District in San Antonio.
The three women, all in their 20s, were allegedly intoxicated when they were caught-on-camera boarding the bus filled with children, the unconventional riders apparently slipping right past the bus driver and taking two seats in the back the bus. One of them sat next to a middle school boy for the entire 30-minute commute.
"Clearly the bus driver wasn't paying attention to who was walking down the row of seats," district spokeswoman Aubrey Chancellor said. "It's obviously difficult at the beginning of school with new faces, but regardless, this was a big mistake."
After arriving at the school, two women are able to slip by the driver again, but when the third tried, he realized that she wasn't a student. Parents were outraged. after all...
"How do three drunk grown women get on the bus?" mom Vicki Holden asked. "Why?"
The veteran bus driver is now fired, and the women are charged with criminal trespass. One was also cited for possessing alcohol on school property, and another charged with assault after allegedly grabbing a student's arm before the now infamous ride.
It sounds like a tween version of a ZZ Top video.
Maybe he thought that they were school kids.
a primarily amish school district?
Not Amish for a change.
Exactly
That drivers name? Schultz, Sargent Schultz, and he sees nooothing!
Damn public schools..........Sergeant, sorry all you military folks!
In all fairness what was the bus driver supposed to do? Try to physically remove the drunks and risk injury to herself or any of the children caught in the scuffle? Call the police and wait who know how long for them to arrive? Meanwhile of course parents would be frantic over why the children were so late. Staying calm and driving her route as long as the drunks did not display threatening behavior was the correct thing to do in my opinion.
If there were high school students on this route you can see how these girls might merge with the herd.
Nope - Caucasian and all three females were Caucasian.
now thats a miracle
(sigh)
“It’s Boo-kay”
Unless these girls got on at a trandfer point it is hard to believe that only jr. highers were aboard. Of course since we have fact-free American news winnowing out the details is always hard.
My kids rode a route with students from K to 12.
