Criminal Charges For Bus Driver Who Abandoned Girl

SHREWSBURY (AP) ― A former school bus driver who ordered a fourth-grader off his bus nearly two miles from home as punishment for changing seats without permission is facing more trouble.

Shrewsbury police on Monday filed a reckless child endangerment complaint against 65-year-old Donald Davison Jr. of Grafton. A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 3 to determine if there is probable cause for a charge to be filed.

Davison was fired after the Nov. 5 incident.

Nine-year-old Cyrena Madbury started walking home before another parent picked her up and drove her the rest of the way.

Melissa Doyle, Cyrena’s mother, tells the Worcester Telegram and Gazette she is glad police are following through with possible charges.

Davison did not return a call from the paper.
