A school bus driver in Texas has been accused of brandishing a knife at three sixth-graders who left Oreo crumbs on a seat. Officials say police confiscated a pocket knife from 66-year-old William Allen on Friday in Mansfield.
He was taken into custody on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Two students told their parents Allen removed them from the bus Wednesday at Mary Orr Intermediate School and threatened to cut their wrists if they didn’t admit to spilling crumbs.
