Once at the Graton Casino, police performed sobriety tests where they determined her to be almost four times over the legal blood alcohol content limit of 0.08 percent.
Teasley’s wild ride didn’t end until she reached the trip’s planned destination.
“Due to the delay in information being relayed, CHP units were unable to get in front of the bus.” “Multiple units attempted to get in position to conduct an enforcement stop as the bus drove through Petaluma,” the police report explains. Transporting 40 passengers from San Francisco to the Graton Casino some 50 miles north, riders say it quickly became apparent that driver Angela Teasley, 34, was in no condition to operate a vehicle.Īccording to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the 2004 charter bus struck a rail on the Golden Gate Bridge around 9:15 am while traveling northbound on US-101.Īt least one passenger called 911 to report Teasley’s erratic driving, as did other motorists who later told CHP that the bus was passing vehicles on the highway’s shoulder.
This week’s DUI arrest of a casino bus driver wasn’t the first time police had to respond to the Graton Casino’s San Francisco charter.
