BOULDER — The Boulder County district attorney’s office is planning to drop a driving-under-the-influence charge filed against a Boulder Valley School District bus driver because toxicology tests have come back negative for drugs and alcohol.
Robert Lecy, 62, still faces a careless-driving charge in connection with the bus accident Nov. 30.
According to police, Lecy was driving a bus to Boulder High School — with 17 passengers aboard — when he crashed into a brick retaining wall. None of the students was hurt.
Lecy told police that he had taken the drug Ambien, a sleeping aid, the night before. Laboratory tests, however, showed that no drugs or alcohol were in his system at the time of the crash, according DA’s office spokeswoman Catherine Olguin.
