STATESVILLE, N.C. — The North Carolina State Highway Patrol has arrested a man who they said blew past a stopped school bus in Statesville last week, almost hitting students.
Troopers said 22-year-old James Allen Jordan is charged with passing a stopped school bus, careless and reckless driving, and no motorcycle endorsement.
Just before 4 p.m. on Feb. 18, Highway Patrol said Jordan was traveling north on Wallace Springs Road and passed a stopped school bus, with its warning lights on and stop arm out, as students were getting off.
“The motorcyclist almost struck the children and continued north,” troopers said.
Thankfully, no one was hurt.
Highway patrol said Jordan was held at the Iredell County Detention Center under a $10,000 bond.
