Domestic Violence, Teen Burglary, School Bus Rules

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

On August 28, Pierce County deputies arrested a 44-year-old man for violating a domestic violence court order after he appeared at a woman's bedroom window while intoxicated, prompting a pursuit that ended with a PIT maneuver. Deputies later found a revolver on the passenger floorboard of his vehicle. He faces charges including unlawful firearm possession and eluding.

Two 15-year-olds were arrested on August 26 for burglarizing a vacant Key Peninsula home, causing over $100,000 in damage. The teens were booked into Remann Hall Juvenile Detention for felony burglary and malicious mischief. Meanwhile, deputies recovered two stolen motorcycles on August 20 after a property owner reported purchasing them without full payment.

The sheriff's office also reminded drivers on August 31 about school bus stop laws, clarifying that vehicles traveling in the opposite direction of a bus with a center turn lane do not need to stop, though fines for violations can be significant as school starts.

Ready or not, here they come! You will be seeing a lot of school buses on the road, so we thought it would be a good time to review when you need to stop for a school bus.
