FARRAGUT (AP) -- A school bus driver was allegedly drunk as she drove her afternoon bus route.
Forty-four-year-old Jennifer Reddy sideswiped a car Friday afternoon before responding to the children's pleas to return them to school. The children used cell phones to call their parents to inform them of their driver's behavior. None of the children were injured. Knox County Schools spokesman Russ Oaks says school security officers gave Reddy a breath-alcohol test. She allegedly registered a .26, more than three times the legal limit. Reddy was charged with drunken driving and hit and run. She was jailed in lieu of a $1,000 bond. Copyright 2006 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
