Story 1. bus

 

Former Cherokee County School District bus driver, Britney Estey, has been sentenced to five years of probation after pleading guilty to driving a school bus under the influence of alcohol with students on board. The incident occurred in February, leading to Estey's arrest for driving under the influence and endangering a child. She failed a random alcohol test, and her blood alcohol levels were found to be significantly above the legal limit. Estey was indicted on multiple charges but entered a negotiated plea, admitting guilt to five of the 18 charges, including driving a school bus under the influence. She received probation, community service, substance abuse treatment, and a ban from driving a school bus again.
