City councilman working as school bus driver charged in fight with student, GA cops say
A city council member working as a school bus driver is facing charges after an altercation with a student last week, according to Georgia authorities.

Bennie Jones was arrested on Friday, Nov. 12, two days after he’s accused of hitting a student during a dust up at the Moore Street School in Dublin, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Jones is facing a charge of simple battery, a misdemeanor. Dublin police asked the state’s top law enforcement agency for assistance in the case.

McClatchy News reached out to the Dublin Police Department on Monday and is awaiting a response.

Officers arrived at the alternative school Wednesday, Nov. 10, after receiving reports of a fight, WMAZ reported, citing an incident report. School staff who were on scene told police that students on the bus were cursing and using other foul language.
