FRANKFORD, N.J. (WCBS 880) — A school bus driver in New Jersey was arrested on Friday night for driving drunk while students were on board, police told NJ Advance Media on Wednesday.
The driver, 49-year-old Colleen Eutermarks of Wantage was seen just after 5 p.m. “driving erratically” down Country Road 565 in Frankford, said Sgt. Alejandro Goez, spokesperson for New Jersey State Police.
Eutermarks was stopped by state troopers southbound at milepost 0.5, police said. She was arrested after authorities determined she was under the influence.
Police said Eutermarks was charged with being under the influence, endangering the welfare of a child, possession of prescription legend drugs and driving while intoxicated.
