Several children were likely late to school on Monday morning after they witnessed the arrest of their bus driver.

At roughly 9:30 am, Manitoba First Nations Police Services responded to Procure Road in Waywayseecappo on a report of a school bus driver found under the influence while transporting students.

When officers arrived on the scene, they acquired a breather sample that was twice the legal limit of alcohol.

Officers did note that while there were students on the bus at the time, no one was injured in this case.

The driver was arrested, but released with a pending court date.
