His last words that we know of now was that he thought this person was going to kill somebody.

That driver pulled into traffic and slowly turned his truck around before finally returning up the ramp. No accidents or injuries were reported and the driver left the area before police arrived. We were asking questions tonight in the wake of the disturbing arrest of a School Bus Driver who was allegedly drunk behind the wheel headed to pick up kids at a private Montgomery County school. Scott broom joins us now. Police have released new 911 tapes of the incident. Reporter yeah. Those tapes are brand new and on them youll hear if it hadnt of been for motorists on the Baltimore Beltway spotting this allegedly drunk School Bus Driver headed to Montgomery County weaving and swerving, police might not have caught up to her. Behind the wheel of a school bus a convicted felon named pamela willy allegedly drunk who police said had open bottles of alcohol on board and was on her way to pick up kids for a field trip from an unnamed private school in Montgomery County just after noon on february 27th when she was pulled over. Motorists on baltimores beltway helped state police catch up. I have a caller on the line that says theres a bus driving erratic. Going across the road in and out of lanes, looks like its going to cause an accident. Are you guys escorting a school bus . Theyre pulling it over. Reporter willy has been hit with 22 charges. Her background includes assault and drug convictions, but what about the private bus contractor who hired her . The company is called mr. Tims bus rides, a Charter Service School Groups according to its website. Wusa9 learned today Maryland State Department of education does not maintain statewide oversight of School Transportation contractors like mr. Tims. Instead its up to each individual School District or private school to do background checks when it hires a private contractor for events like field trips and the information appears limited. For instance, u. S. Department of transportation records do not alert schools to the alleged february drunk driving incident. Federal records indicate mr. Tims bus rides is d. O. T. Registered current on its insurance and therefore ready to carry kids. So you got to ask yourself how might a School System or private school get to the bottom of issues like this and know ahead of time . A couple important notes, School Officials in Prince Georges County and Montgomery County Public Schools say they have not done business with this contractor. The owner of tims bus rides, tim foster, says he is or was aware of his drivers criminal background, but he believes in second chances. He says hiring pamela willy was a huge mistake and she has been fired. Reporting live outside baltimore, scott broom, wusa9.

Linda is a School Bus Driver who said i want to start after labor day, take away spring break, give them off good friday and Easter Monday like it used to be, but phillip said school should start two weeks before labor day, otherwise our kids are behind when it comes time to take national tests. Then theres another, id love to see school be nine weeks on and three weeks off yearround. Kids would retain more information instead of losing it over the summer and it would get rid of the what do i do with these kids for three months . Obviously we want to know what you think. Join the conversation on our wusa9 facebook page. Lesli and jan, what do you think about this one . I love it. I think thats why parents are concerned because theyre thinking now ive got to fill yet another week or two. I grew someplace where you could not go to school before labor day. So that is unusual for me. I was just the opposite. I went to school where you go to school several weeks before labor day, but this is good because we got out in may, so our summer was ready.
