Betty Roberts
MILWAUKEE — Charges have been filed against a Milwaukee woman accused of aggravated assault of a Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) bus driver. Betty Roberts is facing one count of battery to public transit operator (use of a dangerous weapon).
The assault happened near 76th and Appleton on Wednesday, May 15. Officials say the suspect refused to pay the bus fare around 3:30 p.m. When confronted by the driver that she had to pay the bus fare, officials say she became both verbally and physically abusive to the bus driver. MCTS officials say the bus driver suffered minor injuries to his arm when the woman climbed over the driver’s security shield and stabbed him.
MCTS tells FOX6 News the bus driver is doing well considering what he has been through.
