his track team into a school bus for an away meet when he heard a noise he thought might be a gun shot. He said he went into the student parking lot and tried to stop-the car driven by Mr. Moody as he was attempting to leave.
He said he put his hand up to stop the car but Mr. Moody waved him off and continued driving right at him. He said he jumped out of the way when the car was only a few feet from him and was them concerned about the safety of members of the team loading on the bus as Mr. Moody drove through the area and left school grounds.
The charge of felonious assault will be presented to a grand jury as a result of that incident.
In another trial Tuesday Scot Zim was found guilty of reckless driving for attempting to pass a school bus that was discharging a passenger. Judge Robeson said he would continue the case until Nov. 19 and allow, Mr. Zim to complete a driver improvement class. If he successfully completes the class and has no further charges, against him the charge will be reduced to improper driving. He was also fined $150.
Mr. Zim testified that he saw the bus stopped at an earlier stop and that the flashing lights were working, but at that stop he saw no flashing lights and thought the bus had stopped to let him pass. He said that once he started to pass he saw the student coming around the bus and stopped and waited until the student had crossed the road before continuing to pass the bus.
His younger sister, who was a passenger in the car, said she also had seen the flashing lights at the previous bus stop and did not see them when the bus stopped again before her brother tried to pass the bus.
Bus driver Eddie Gore said he saw the lights flashing and had the arm with a stop sign out. He said the lights were checked both before and after his bus run that day and that they were working properly.
