give him a ticket for not stopping for a school bus and send him on his way. Why waste money and resources when your just going to put him back on the road anyways?

As for the bus driver, kudos to you for loving your job and the children you serve. I would hope it is procedure to not open that door until the driver makes sure all vehicles have stopped. If it is not, this proves why it sure should be.

The guy was in state prison for two years and on extended supervision for three until just a few months ago. This is very close to the maximum sentence that was in effect (3 yrs/3 yrs) at the time of his conviction. The penalties for this offense have since increased to 5 yrs/5 yrs, and penalties for the tenth or higher conviction have increased to 7.5 yrs/5 yrs. Given his history it is very likely that something close to that sentence will be imposed.

11 DUI convictions; this guy has done time; attended councelling and jumped through all the hoops state law has implemented. The local judiciary love repeat offenders as the local jurisdiction gets to keep the fine money which can reach quite large amounts. Why does he keep offending? Because he regards himself above the law.

Here you go..."The 2001 Pontiac Sunfire, driven by 58-year-old Michael R. Malone, 2436 Hayden Ave., Altoona, passed the bus on the right shoulder of the road, struck a mailbox and continued southward."

Most people don't even use the mirrors,or even look at the speedometer,glad this driver did,good job,give this person some of the school bonus they get,sure they can't show reward for a good job being done,like this driver did!!
Post this guys name,so we all can check his record...

Lock him up and throw away the keys! I wish some ambitious journalist would research this guy and tell us the circumstances behind him getting off from the previous charges. I guess investigative journalism is a thing of the past. This bus driver should get a big reward!

So, the community paper decides to report to us about something that has happened 300 miles away but can't find out what the hell is going on in our own Sheriffs Dept. Transparency in government should start, at the very least, with the people that have the power to suspend our liberty. Do the job that our laws favor you to do. Oh, and the guy in the article should have been locked up 8 DUI's ago.

11 DWI's. This guy is more of a menace than murderer and should be treated as such.

He almost killed some kids. I wonder if 30 years in prison would be enough to dry the drunkard out. Not that I think he would get 30 years. I think the law dictates much less than that. Eleven DUIs? Wisconsin, what is your problem?

So how's the harsher drunk driving law working for you all? Oh, the Tavern Lobby and Republicans probably got it rescinded, job killing you know.

It's not like our newspaper to allow comments on this type of article. But, here goes... Give this bus driver a raise or something - what an amazing act that probably saved many injuries. Great Job Kimberly! Thank You!

Can't this guy be arrested for other things, such as conduct regardless of life, or some other felonies that will get him behind bars (and off the streets)? Thank God for that bus driver's quick thinking.
