(HOWICK, ON) – Earlier today Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) charged a school bus driver with Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle from an incident stemming back to April 14, 2014.
At approximately 4:30 p.m. Huron OPP received complaints of an Elliot Coach Lines school bus that was being driven in an erratic manner.
Officers were able to stop the school bus on Clyde Road in Bluevale. Upon speaking with the male driver officers noted he had been drinking alcohol. A roadside test was completed and the driver registered a warn range suspension. He was served with an automatic three day suspension.

As a result, 50 year old Frank BRAUN from Listowel has been charged with Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle. He has a court appearance scheduled for the Ontario Court of Justice – Goderich on June 2, 2014.
