A Colorado school bus driver is in hot water after he dumped 40 elementary-aged kids on the side of the road and took off — with students claiming he bragged about owning guns and threatened “consequences” if they didn’t shut up.
The fiasco went down Monday evening in Castle Rock — about 30 miles south of Denver — when kids from Clear Sky Elementary School climbed on their bus at the end of the day to find a substitute driver behind the wheel.
Right away, students say something felt wrong.
“He wouldn’t let us leave the school until we stopped talking,” 10-year-old Caitlyn Zavadil told 9News, explaining they sat in the parking lot before he pulled out well behind schedule.
“He finally left, and he was skipping all the kids’ stops, and when I say all the kids, I mean all the kids,” the girl said. “And we felt like when he was driving and missing our stops, like we were getting kidnapped.”
And all the while, the driver became more and more hostile.
“He was threatening us, saying that the used to be in the army and that he had guns. And that if we do anything wrong there’ll be consequences,” Zavadil told KDVR.
