Warrant Issued for Pennsylvania School Bus Driver Accused of Driving Drunk With 54 Children Aboard

Police plan her surrender for arraignment after tests showed a .331 blood alcohol level with THC detected.

Overview

  • Montgomery County prosecutors charged Kelly Weber, 46, with DUI, 54 counts of endangering the welfare of children and 54 counts of reckless endangerment.
  • An arrest warrant is active as officers coordinate her turn-in, and officials say she entered a rehab facility immediately after the incident.
  • Police say callers reported erratic driving on Feb. 6, and officers later found the bus in a Douglass Township snowbank with multiple children still onboard.
  • Investigators reported an open 750ml bottle of Tito’s vodka, two empty 50ml bottles and a Fine Wine & Good Spirits receipt timestamped 9:22 a.m. on the bus.
  • A blood draw measured a .331 BAC—about four times Pennsylvania’s 0.08 limit—and a positive Delta-9 Carboxy THC result, and the district attorney said he is thankful a crash did not occur.
