A school bus driver in Illinois has been arrested and fired after surveillance video caught her drinking from two beer cans while transporting dozens of elementary school students, authorities said.


quote:

Michelle Passley, 44, had stopped at a gas station convenience store during her morning route on Nov. 15 and appeared to purchase two cans of beer before getting back on the bus, the Aurora Police Department said Tuesday.


quote:

Passley was charged with two counts of endangering the life/health of a child. The Secretary of State’s Office is expected to review Passley’s Commercial Driver’s License.

She was released on $100 bond and is due to appear in court on Dec. 27.

So did she blow over a .08 then? It's hard for me to believe she was endangering the lives of children if she wasn't legally intoxicated.

That's for regular driver license. For CDL it's .04. For school bus any trace whatsoever is illegal

You try driving dozens of those screaming little shits sober. I am leery of any school bus driver who is completely sober.

How often do they do random alcohol tests on bus drivers? I'd bet you could pop a shitload on that rule.

The pro move would be to have a drink in a thermos of some sort. Brown bagging it is just stupid.

This is Illinois baw...we're reforming criminal justice by releasing repeat felony gun offenders and other criminals on their own recognizance or very low bonds.

Search "Kim Foxx" and you'll see what I mean (and no, she is NOT a stripper).
