Calaveras County Parent Arrested After Breaking School Bus Door Glass
A parent was arrested for vandalism after breaking a school bus door during a chaotic incident in Calaveras County, California. The event began when a bus driver stopped the vehicle to address student behavior, leading to a student exiting through a window. The parent, Nichole Wellington, arrived at the scene, refused to wait for law enforcement, and broke the bus door glass before climbing through a window to confront the driver. While some parents criticized the driver’s handling of the situation, others supported the driver’s decision to prioritize safety. The district confirmed the bus was stopped for only four minutes initially, and law enforcement arrived 14 minutes later.
