The highway patrol will sign a
drunk driving charge against Win
ter Monday.
Aided and abetted by drunken
servicemen among the passengers,
Winter forced the holiday travellers
to endure his antics until he col
lapsed, highway patrolme.. said.
The frightened passengers jump
ed from the bus when it stopped a
mile north of Calexico and scattered
along the road calling for help and
attempting to flag traffic.
Fred Procsal of Calexico noticed
the women and children running
around in the cold, windy twilight
and stopped to help.
DRIVER OUT
The driver had passed out en-
tirely," Procsal said. land sorE of
the we'll oiled soldiers were try
ing to figure out how to drive the
bus and at the same time trying
to force the passengers to remain
On board.
Il found a Mexican boy who said
he could drive the bus. He said he
would rather drive than try to make
the soldiers behave. So took charge
of the soldiers. They all behaved
nicely but one sergeant. Even the
sergeant finally agreed to go back
of the bus and let the Mexican boy
drive. We loaded the rest of the
passengers on the bus and made
CaleXico bus station safely"
ikREST MADE
AS soon as the bus stopped in
Calexico, Winter, who is said to
be the tallest driver in the Grey
hound system, jumped out and
started to weave down the street
Chief of Police Guy Echols arrested
Winter soon after he left the bus
and locked him in the city Jail.
Meanwhile reports of the cratic
behavior of the bus poured into
highway patrol headquarters, the
county Sheriff's office, and police
stations all along the way between
inland and Calexico.
The driver collected no tickets
from his passengers and in some
manner Eet to be discovered by in
vestigating highway patrolmen,
managed to get in and out of bus
stations along the line. Possibly he
