CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – A former school bus driver faces charges after police say a 53-year-old woman got on a bus and sexually assaulted a 15-year-old student.
According to an affidavit obtained by WKRN News 2, Ruth Blackwell was picking up students last Thursday when she stopped the bus, opened the door and allowed Susan Boykin to get on.
Boykin walked to the back of the bus and started harassing a 15-year-old boy. A warrant says she laid on top of the student and began kissing and hugging him.
Police said Blackwell did not report the incident, which occurred on her last day of employment, to anyone or call 911 at any point.
At some point during the incident, Blackwell allegedly said, “Thank God it’s my last day” because, if it hadn’t been, she would have “been fired for this.”
Blackwell has been charged with criminal responsibility and is jailed on a $50,000 bond.
Boykin is charged with sexual battery and trespassing on school premises. She remains jailed on a $75,000 bond.
