7 Jun
Summary
- School bus driver arrested for DUI after swerving.
- Found unable to drive due to CNS depressants, not alcohol.
- Driver was terminated from her position by the school district.
Janice Waldorf, a 62-year-old school bus driver, pleaded guilty to driving under the influence on May 26, 2026. The charge stemmed from an incident on September 25, 2025, when she was pulled over on Interstate 20. Waldorf was driving second graders home from a field trip when a parent chaperone alerted authorities to her erratic driving.
Although Waldorf registered a 0.00% blood alcohol level, state transport police reported she was impaired by central nervous system depressants. She was found with 17 bottles of prescription medication, some expired. Waldorf was terminated from her position with the Edgefield County School District on October 3, 2025. The child endangerment charge remains pending.
