Driver passes school bus; arrested for not having license

Passing a stopped school bus with its stop arm out and lights flashing, led to the arrest of a Columbus woman yesterday afternoon.

The incident happened at about 2:50 p.m. yesterday on Jonesville Road, according to Columbus police. An officer saw the bus, which had stopped to let children out, and a white car disregarded the signs and signals, instead passing the bus and continuing up Jonesville Road.

Police stopped the car and found that the driver, 30 year old Lyzette Berrios Torres turned out not to have a driver’s license. She was arrested and is now facing charges of reckless driving by disregarding a bus stop arm and operating a vehicle without ever receiving a license.
