MAGALIA, Calif. —

A bus driver was arrested in Magalia for driving students home while drunk in 2019. That same accusation, in the same school district, was made again this week.

CHP and the Butte County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) say they responded to the area of Skyway and Perry Road just before 3:00 p.m. Thursday and stopped a Paradise Unified School District (PUSD) bus full of students that ranged from six to 17 years old. PUSD Superintendent Tom Taylor says a parent made this 911 call after their child was dropped off after school and notified them that they believed the driver was drunk.
