No ticket was issued Monday after a police investigation into a report of a car passing a school bus on Sugar Loaf Mountain Road.
Anthony Provenzale submitted a video, showing a car passing a bus as it was stopping in front of his house at 75 Sugar Loaf Mountain Road, and maintaining it was a “school bus violation.”
“I couldn’t get the plate; maybe you could publicize so we can find this person?” Mr. Provenzale wrote.
The car driver was later identified as a teenager.
However, police investigated the incident and did not find a violation.
Mr. Provenzale requested Monday night that the video be removed from the Press website, saying “this issue has been resolved.”
He said he was “satisfied” with the police investigation.
The father of the teenager says that his son did nothing wrong, and that the school bus lights were not on red when the boy passed the bus.
“It’s just wrong” that his son was accused of passing the bus illegally when it was not true, the father said. “He was accused without giving him the benefit of the doubt.”
The father said that his son saw that he was being videoed, and found it disturbing. He told his father, and they called police.
“We took the initiative to go to the police,” the father said.
The police reviewed the video and found no infraction, he said.
He felt that the description of the incident should have included the word “alleged.”
