A bus driver in Pennsylvania was charged with DUI after she attempted to drive students back to school at the end of the day; at one point arguing with students trying to convince her that they had already been at school.

The driver, Jennifer Watson, denied drinking and driving, but did admit that she ate some "gin soaked raisins" which she uses for medicinal purposes.

According to WNEP, charging documents show the students told police: “The driver was yelling and cursing at students and was driving all over the road.”



“We had two kids up front talking to her, trying to calm her down, and one of them said that they could smell like alcohol on her, like on her breath,” said Ryan Lynn, an 11th grader who said he was on the bus.

Lynn said it seemed Watson thought she was driving her morning bus route.
“We were like ‘where are we going,’ and she was like ‘I’m taking you to school,’ and we were like ‘we already went to school,’ and she said ‘no you weren’t,’ and we were like, ‘okay,’” said Lynn.

Charges of DUI and reckless driving are pending against Watson in Columbia county.
