The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a school bus driver after they were alerted that she forced 24 students to get off the bus and walk 10 blocks to school, Tampa Bay reports. At around 7:35 a.m. on Tuesday, 53-year-old Angela Williams called 911 claiming that a chemical smell was emitting from her 2007 bus model’s engine.
Williams went on to say that someone poured some kind of chemical on her bus, and she had to pull over on Thirty-Ninth Avenue North in St. Petersburg. The bus driver told dispatch that the chemical smell prompted her to exit the bus because it was making her sick. She added that this wasn’t the first time the incident has transpired.
It was reported that Williams feels as though she is being targeted because another employee doesn’t want her to keep her job as a Pinellas County school bus driver. “It’s getting ridiculous. I feel that my life is threatened,” Williams said.
