CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Some Garinger High School students say their bus driver is rude to them, swears at them and has physically trapped one student's arm in bus doors.
19-year-old Tequilla Banks, a senior, showed WBTV cell phone video of the bus driver calling her a "stupid b**ch."
Banks admits there has been some back-and-forth problems between she and the driver, most recently when the driver accused her of smoking on the bus.
Banks says she wasn't smoking. She does admit she slapped the driver's hand out of her face when the driver, she says, put it up in front of her. Banks got suspended for "assault on a school official."
Banks younger sister, a junior at the school, also got suspended for allegedly threatening the bus driver. She maintains she didn't.
The girl's mother says it's the bus driver's responsibility to be the bigger person.
"If she was trying to keep them under control she wouldn't curse at them," Kathy Banks said.
"She would've stopped the bus and parked it and called in on them and had the police come and remove them off the bus. But she didn't. She provoked them. And that's the wrong thing for a bus driver to do."
Three different students showed us cell phone videos (one of them being Tequilla's video of the name-calling). All three videos show disruptive conduct from the students.
The students involved are at the bus stop at Delivau Drive and Barrington Drive in east Charlotte.
