NICHOLAS COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ/WDTV) - Last month, a Nicholas County school bus driver was fired after being arrested on DUI charges.
33-year-old Casey Dodrill was driving a school bus on March 8 when he allegedly drove the bus off the road and almost failed to recover, according to a criminal complaint.

The complaint says Dodrill admitted to police he drank six beers on the day of the incident and “had a lot on his mind.”
He then failed three sobriety tests and blew a .118 on a breathalyzer test.
Less than three weeks later, Dodrill and another bus driver who allegedly knew he was intoxicated was fired.
