A school bus driver in
West Virginia with 50 kids on board downed six beers before nearly crashing because he said he "he had a lot on his mind," officials said.
Casey Dodrill, 33, of Nicholas County made the claim and admitted to drinking after he veered off the road and failed three sobriety tests,
local WSAZ reported.
Dodrill was driving erratically last Wednesday while transporting students from Richwood High School and Gauley River Elementary when a teacher's aide with the Nicholas County School District contacted state police, according to the outlet.
The aide told police that Dodrill, who reportedly had 50 students on his bus during his afternoon route, veered off the road and almost failed to recover, according to the complaint.
Dodrill reportedly
blew a .118 on a breathalyzer test.
