A school bus driver in Sevier County has been arrested for allegedly driving a bus while his blood-alcohol level was three times the legal limit and students were on board.
MONROE, Sevier County — A central Utah school bus driver has been arrested for allegedly driving a bus with children on board while his blood-alcohol content was three times the legal limit, according to police.
Sevier County emergency dispatchers received an anonymous tip that day that "one of the bus drivers had been drinking and was going to pick up students from the South Sevier schools," according to a police booking affidavit."I stepped onto his bus and saw over a dozen kids on the bus. I asked Dave about some of his trip plans and while talking to Dave I could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from Dave," the deputy wrote in his affidavit.
"I asked Dave when the last time he had had anything to drink and he said last night. I asked him if he had any more during the day and he wouldn't say," the deputy said, according to the affidavit.
