A former central Kentucky school bus driver involved in a crash has been charged with DUI after a laboratory test showed evidence she had used marijuana.
Lebanon Junction Police also charged Tammy Capps with 50 counts of wanton endangerment – one for each student on the bus.
Bullitt County Deputy Court Clerk Marci Hodges says Capps pleaded not guilty Friday morning. Hodges says no public defender has been assigned.
Bullitt County Schools attorney Eric Farris said Friday the school superintendent fired Capps on Wednesday after getting the lab results. Farris said a sample from Capps was collected May 12, the same day the bus she operated rolled onto its side.
Several students were taken to hospitals, but none were seriously injured.
