CENTREVILLE, MD. — The Maryland State Police report that a trooper from the Centreville Barrack arrested a school bus driver for driving under the influence on Oct. 24, 2017, in Queen Anne’s County.

The accused is identified as Dale Clark Jr., 54, of Chester, Md.  Clark was charged with DUI and related traffic charges. He was the sole occupant in the school bus. Police believe Clark was driving for Queen Anne’s County Public Schools.

Centreville Barrack received 9-1-1 calls from two motorists who witnessed erratic driving behavior by Clark, who was driving the school bus eastbound at Route 50 near Kent Narrows

At 2:00 p.m. on Oct. 24, 2017, the Centreville Barrack received 9-1-1 calls from two motorists who witnessed erratic driving behavior by Clark, who was driving the school bus eastbound at Route 50 near Kent Narrows in Queen Anne’s County.  Troopers were immediately dispatched to the area.

The school bus continued northbound on Route 301 from Route 50, where it was observed by Maryland State Police.   Troopers observed numerous traffic violations and subsequently, conducted a traffic stop on northbound 301, south of Warrington Farm Lane.

Clark failed the standardized field sobriety test on scene. He was arrested without incident and transported to the Centreville Barrack for processing.  The Queen Anne’s County School Board was contacted and sent a replacement driver to pick up the school bus from the scene.  

UPDATE ON BUS DRIVER PAMELA LESLIE WILLIE DUI ARREST

On Nov. 5, 2015, Pamela Leslie Willie was operating a school bus while intoxicated. She was arrested and charged with 19 counts of negligent driving, driving a school vehicle without appropriate medical certificates, failing to use warning lights, consuming alcohol in passenger area of a motor vehicle, DWI, driving impaired in a commercial vehicle, and related charges in Baltimore County Circuit Court.  With a taxpayer-provided a free

attorney, Donald Zaremba, she went to trial on Jan. 20, 2016. Willie was found guilty of DWI and operating a commercial vehicle while impaired. She was fined $200 and sentenced to one year in jail with eleven months and ten days suspended. The States Attorney agreed to home detention for the twenty days of incarceration.

Court records also reflect the following conditions: Defendant not to drive a commercial vehicle while on probation. Defendant to submit to mental health treatment at New Vision Center. Submit to drug and alcohol testing, treatment and evaluation as recommended. Attend Shock Trauma Tour and attend one MADD Victim Impact Panel. Submit to random urinalysis and abstain from drugs and alcohol and abuse of prescription drugs. Court costs and supervision fees are waived.

All of the remaining charges were dropped by the prosecutor. Court records show that on March 25, 2016, the case was reopened due to a violation of the terms of the probation.

Thus, the Baltimore County States Attorney Scott Shellenberger bent over backward to allow a bus driver who had not a care in the world about driving a bus full of children while snookered – to avoid jail instead of cooling her jets in a cell for at least a month.
