Dennis has been charged with menacing, criminal damaging, disorderly conduct, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, and parking a vehicle in the roadway, according to the post.
WBNS-10 reported that the South-Western City School District shared a statement condemning Dennis’ actions.
“When it comes to the safe transport of students, there is simply no place for such senseless aggression and heated exchanges directed towards our dedicated bus drivers, their buses or our students,” the statement read in part.
