A Granville County Public Schools bus driver is facing multiple charges, including 53 counts of child endangerment, for suspicion of driving while impaired, the Creedmoor Police Department said.
Lauren Coble, 45, was arrested Thursday.
Police say Granville County Public School administrators called Thursday morning to report a school bus driving erratically during the morning route. Coble was charged with seven traffic charges, including impaired driving in a commercial vehicle.
“Our department fully supports the administration of Granville County Public Schools and their commitment to ensuring the safety of our students and staff,” Chief Troy Wheless said. “We will work closely with the District Attorney’s Office to ensure that anyone who puts the safety and security of our students, staff, and members of the public at any of our schools at risk are held accountable for their actions.”
