FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Fargo police say a school bus driver has been arrested for drunken driving after the bus with children on board was seen serving down the street.

Police were dispatched about 3:30 p.m. Monday after getting a report of the bus operating recklessly with children running up and down the aisle. An officer caught up with the bus at Shanley High School and arrested the 71-year-old male driver for driving under the influence with minors in the vehicle.
