GREEN BAY, WI- He lost his job and now the beer-drinking school bus driver in Green Bay has been charged with operating while intoxicated. 70-year-old James Martin Nelson was fired after he admitted he was drinking beer while driving a group of elementary students on a field trip to Madison. He was confronted when the bus arrived back at Lincoln Elementary in Green Bay Monday. When a preliminary breath test was administered Nelson blew a point-5-6, which is usually below the legal limit. However, the limit for operating a C-D-L vehicle is point-4-0. Several teachers and chaperones told officers the bus had drifted during the trip so much it hit rumble strips on the highway about five times.
