Bus driver accused of abandoning young students at wrong stop in Newark: police
A terrifying ordeal for students, parents and staff at Newark Charter School has sparked an investigation into a bus driver, who has since been let go.
It's alleged that in September, Schoolfield pushed a 4-year-old student to the rear of the bus and forcefully shoved the student into a seat, then struck the child.
She was arrested on Tuesday, several weeks after the alleged incident happened, and arraigned in a Delaware court. She was later released.
Investigators have not said if the young student was injured during the incident.
