A bus driver was arrested Sunday after state police said she locked a passenger in the luggage compartment on a moving bus headed to Boston from New York City, according to a report.
Connecticut State Police said they received a 911 call from a woman who claimed she had been locked in the luggage compartment by a Peter Pan bus driver and was trapped while en route to Boston, WFSB reported Monday.
Police later arrested Wendy Alberty, 49, from East Lyme, Conn., and charged her with unlawful restraint, reckless endangerment and breach of peace, according to WFSB. Alberty is a bus driver but at the time was a passenger and not driving the bus.
