A school bus driver from Minnesota who had 17 students on his bus is facing charges after allegedly working his morning shift while under the influence of alcohol.

Just after midnight on August 28, the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Department received a call regarding a bus driver who worked for the St. Louis County School District. The caller reported that the man was supposed to drive a morning route transporting students to the South Ridge School in Culver, but said he consumed so much alcohol that he would not have enough time to sober up before operating the school bus. Minnesota’s legal blood alcohol concentration limit for most drivers is 0.08%, but they have a statute wherein those who drive a school bus are barred from having any alcohol in their system.

The authorities collected his information and got in touch with the 44-year-old man. When the police asked him about the situation, he let them know he was not going to work that day. The authorities followed up by calling the school district to confirm the information, and they reported that he was currently on the road in a school bus.

According to reports, two men flagged down a Lyft driver near a nightclub in Oklahoma City early Sunday morning. Instead of requesting a ride using the app, they offered to pay cash, which the driver agreed to if they were going somewhere close by. After getting into the car with a bag of beer, the back seat passenger reportedly handed a handgun to the front passenger, who allegedly pressed it to the driver’s head and threatened him.

The passengers allegedly demanded to be taken to Durant, which was about 150 miles away, and the driver refused. They reportedly made the man continue driving while allegedly threatening him and attempting to access his phone. Eventually, they decided to have him drop them off at another club in Oklahoma City, where they reportedly demanded the driver’s cellphone and $20 in cash before they got out of the car.

The driver reported that he was terrified by the alleged threats they made to harm his family if he reported them, but he called the police from a local 7-Eleven. The authorities quickly found the suspects nearby.
