School bus driver faces 60 charges, including impaired commercial vehicle driving, child endangerment

North Carolina police issued dozens of charges to a school bus driver believed to have been operating while impaired.

School bus driver Lauren Coble, 45, has been charged with 53 counts of misdemeanor child endangerment as well as seven traffic charges, including Impaired Driving in a Commercial Vehicle, according to a September 5 announcement from city officials in Creedmoor, North Carolina.

On August 29, 2024, members of the Granville County Public School Administration Office contacted the Creedmoor Police Department regarding a school bus being operated erratically during its morning route.

The subsequent investigation led to Coble’s arrest.

Local outlet WXII2 reports Coble was also watching videos on a cell phone while driving the bus.

“Our department fully supports the administration of Granville County Public Schools and their commitment to ensuring the safety of our students and staff,” stated Creedmoor Police Chief Troy Wheless. “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.”
