Hattie Yvonne Branch attacks child on school bus

Hattie Yvonne Branch told police that a 14-year-old boy riding her bus would regularly shout profanity at her, threaten to break her jaw, gesture with his elbow as if to strike her and added "I don't have any problem with nobody but him" she said.

On June 2, police say Branch went into a rage and beat the boy — pulling his hair, hitting him and biting his back twice.

Prosecutors recently released recorded surveillance footage on the bus showing the encounter between Branch and the boy.



The bus' driver, Charlene Wimes, can be heard on the video yelling for Branch to stop and let the boy go.

Branch was arrested July 8 and was released the next day from jail on $10,000 bail, records show. Branch faces a charge of child abuse.

Spacker goes swimming sitting down

In the "I can't make this shit up" category today, a woman in England drove her electric wheelchair into sea off a pier!

The woman, believed to be in her 20s, was with her family in Lyme Regis when her wheelchair rolled off the stone-built Victoria Pier in the harbor.

Police, paramedics and the Coast Guard were called to the incident. The woman was flown to Dorset County Hospital, Dorchester, by air ambulance.

Rescuers said the rescue was difficult partly because the woman was apparently strapped into the wheelchair 9' under water.

She's dead now. In other news...
