A school bus driver in Gurnee, Illinois was arrested for driving under the influence after the bus drifted onto a curb and struck a brick mailbox. Seven middle school students were on board, and a second bus took the children home safely. The driver told officers he was just tired and had not been drinking. But a cup of lemonade smelled of alcohol, and a breath test came back well above the legal limit. Because he was operating a school bus with passengers on board, the charge was elevated to aggravated DUI, a Class 4 felony under Illinois law.
