Sandy Bullock wouldn't treat her riders this way.

Bus driver tosses complaining rider into traffic

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania - A transit bus driver grabbed a woman by the hair, knocked her head into a pole, opened the door and tossed her into traffic after she yelled at him for missing her stop, police said.

The 52-year-old woman, who was not identified, suffered a broken shoulder.

Bus driver Mario Edney, 53, was arraigned Thursday on aggravated assault and other charges, said Officer Jillian Russell, a police spokeswoman. He was being held on $2,000 bail.

Edney said he had to skip the woman's stop Wednesday morning because of a detour, police said.

Transit officials intend to fire Edney, who has been suspended without pay, following a hearing, said Richard Maloney, a spokesman for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.

Bags Of Cocaine Brought To Class By Second-Grader
Some Children Taste White Substance

UPDATED: 5:48 pm EST February 28, 2006

PHILADELPHIA -- Police have confirmed that a white substance found in 18 bags brought to a southwest Philadelphia school by a 7-year-old girl is cocaine.

Patterson Elementary School officials said that plastic bags of cocaine were found inside a second-grade classroom and that some of the students ate the drugs.

Parents want to know if school officials are handling the situation properly.

At least one child ingested some of the drugs and another child was taken to a hospital late Tuesday afternoon to be checked out.

"I was upset because they didn't call me and tell me what was going on," said Shinette Brown, a parent of one of the students affected.

"My daughter is scared to come to school," said Catalina Starling, a mother of one of the students in the classroom.

Both parents said that the drugs were passed around the classroom.

"I ate it. I asked, 'What is it?' I spit it out and I was like, 'What is it?'" said Shaniya Brown, 7.

"I took her to the hospital because she said when they were in there, when she took it, she started shaking and she couldn't stop shaking," a student's mother said.

Starling's daughter, Tracey, said that she passed up the bag given to her by a classmate.

"She said that she got it from the girl ... and then she stuck one in my book bag," Tracey Starling said.

Parents told NBC 10 News that officials at the school had some of the second-graders write out incident statements about what happened without their parents present .

"They know me at the school, that's why I don't understand why they even took a statement without my knowledge," Catalina Starling said.

Late Tuesday, school officials sent letters home to parents telling them that pink bags with a powder-like statement from a student and that police were notified. However, Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson said that his department was not notified until 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.

School officials have not made an official statement, but told NBC 10 News that they are working on a timeline on how events transpired.

Parents told NBC 10 News that they want to know why an ambulance was not called to the school when the children ate the powder.

Fast-Food Worker Tosses Grease at Customer

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A fast-food worker tossed a cup of hot grease on a customer, giving the woman second- and third-degree burns on her arms and chest, authorities said.

"My skin was cooking," said Vouncile Lambert, 44, who was treated at a hospital.

The 17-year-old worker was charged with aggravated assault. The employee, who had worked at the Checkers restaurant in West Philadelphia for about two months, will be fired, a restaurant manager said Wednesday.

Lambert's 36-year-old niece had spit on the employee, a police report said.

Shaji Joseph, an area manager for the hamburger chain, said the customers were upset when the employee closed the walk-up window on them Sunday afternoon.

"Nobody would just throw grease at somebody without provoking," Joseph said. "(But) we totally understand she can't throw grease on her."

Which, thinly veiled, means "Yo! she deserved it...."
