Cape Cod School Bus Driver Arrested For DUI – Obviously Not A Sturgis Bus

CapeCodTimes.com – A school bus driver arrested Friday evening on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol, second offense, with students on board the bus, was a recent hire but had passed a background check, according to the bus company president.

Bus driver Everett Redmond, Jr., 62, of Brewster, is also charged with child endangerment while driving under the influence of liquor, state police said. State police stopped the Cape Destinations bus at the Burger King and Mobil parking lot off Exit 6 of Route 6 after a student on the bus called her mother to report erratic driving and the mother then called the state police.

The students were on the way from Cape Cod Regional Technical High School in Harwich.

See what I mean about other Cape schools not being on a level playing field with Sturgis? While the charter school kids are on a CCRTA bus eating caviar off of their solid gold laptops on their way to their ten person classrooms, the tech kids are sitting on the yellow bus getting pelted by empty Fireball shots the boozebag driver is throwing over his shoulder every five minutes.

Let’s be honest though, can you really blame this guy? I’ve driven with two kids in the backseat and that’s enough to drive you to drink. I can’t even imagine a bus load of the little pricks. It’s a wonder that public school buses don’t come with a built in mini bar.

The whole reason school buses even exist is because none of us want to deal with getting our own little terrors back and forth from school, it shouldn’t be all that surprising when one of the drivers needs a few cocktails to get through the day. All I know is that if I had to drive 30 snot gobblers around all day I’d have an IV of Jack Daniels shooting whiskey straight into the veins in my eyeballs.

Unless of course it was 30 Sturgis kids. Apparently they blow rainbows out of their asses and shoot kindness out of their well adjusted ears because they go to a “public” school that you have to WIN A LOTTERY to get into.

P.S. If you are one of those people that comment that The Real Cape is shoddy “reporting” or bad “journalism” then you should probably just kill yourself now. If you can’t tell the difference between actual journalism and the crap we churn out then you aren’t gonna do anyone any good… ever.

  1. So, I used to really used to like this site because it was really funny. But, all the Sturgis hating lately is really turning me off from this site. I went to Sturgis. Am I super proud of my high school and think it's some magical place where everything is good and magical? No, I don't, but I did spend four years of my life there. It's a charter school, which by definition is a public school, but I won't get too far into that debate because it's been explained before and if people don't get it yet, they very well may never understand, and that is okay.

    This piece was, I thought, supposed to be about the bus driver who was arrested for DUI, which has nothing to do with Sturgis. So, I guess I just don't understand why it needed to even be brought up. Yes, some Sturgis students take CCRTA buses or P&B buses, but it's because there isn't bussing from anywhere other than Barnstable. The school doesn't pay for students to take the bus, they pay just like everyone else who takes a public bus.

    I guess I just don't understand why so many people who have no association with the school decide that they need to hate on it, because really, it's just a school. The students who go there are really not any different from any other high school kids.

    That all being said, I don't know if I will continue to read the articles on this site, which really is too bad because I like to get my dosage of good Cape humor since I no longer live there.

  3. That my friends, is a HyannisNews.com photo… the Cape Cod Times didn't show up to that location… nor did they report on it until the next day… Please remove this photo. Thank you. Rob Bastille, HyannisNews.com

  8. The Real Cape That's the thing though, I am not at all opposed to people mocking Sturgis. What I am opposed to is writing lies about it. There are plenty of REAL reasons to mock Sturgis, you don't need to make things up. Don't get me wrong, I love Sturgis, I just acknowledge that it isn't perfect. I know that this isn't supposed to be a strong and reliable source for information on important events, but some truth would be nice.

  11. Also, I'm starting to think you have some personal problems to work out here man. I mean, what kind of grown man trash talks high schoolers for a living? But hey, I'm a compassionate guy, I could help you out. A buddy of mine is a therapist, I could give you his number if you want 🙂

  13. See guys, you gave them fuel. More than three people start reading this site and so they decide to roll with what's getting them views. Call it a day, they're not worth it, they're catering to what's getting them site hits and comments. Go work on your EEs or something.

  15. How did you find out that we shoot out rainbows that is supposed to be classified information. As well as the fact that we are handed solid gold laptops when we enter sturgis. Good job you figured the whole conspiracy.

  16. Hahahahaha dude, you really are obsessed with looking right aren't you. Quit while you still have SOME dignity man. What, were your high school days so shitty that you take it out on kids who actually have a chance to become more than a writer for a fucking onion ripoff? Just because they aren't being "shoved into lockers" like I'm starting to think you were, doesn't give you the right to have this weirdly personal feud with them.

  18. Also FYI, since you obviously know fuck-all about the shit you're "reporting", Sturgis shares buses with Barnstable High School. I know because I take one. Only kids who come from out of area take RTA or P&B buses. And even then you should know that public buses aren't exactly "chariots".

  20. Yeah, cause every sturgis kid is a rich little prick. Let me tell you something "Hippie" there are winners in lifes lottery, and there are losers, which one do you wanna be?

  21. You have to pay for the ccrta. (@ the rate of 1.50 a ride as the student price)
    If you're reading this comment..RUN as fast as you can from this opinionated bullshit content on this glorified ambulance chasers page.

  23. Ya this is so ridiculous that I'm pretty sure this guy is just looking for attention. I mean telling people to literally kill themselves for criticizing your "journalism" that is aparently full of drunk driving jokes, and all around uninformed hate, is ridiculous. I'm not going to exaplain everything wrong with this article because other seem to have done it pretty well, but in the end you seem to be bashing on Sturgis kids for no good reason. No matter what school you go to, no school automatically turns you into a bad person. I get that you are trying to funny and trying to give stories a bit of an edge with some questionable humor, but you do it with such bad taste that I wouldn't even come close to calling this anything like journalism

  26. I'm really sorry that your child didn't get into Sturgis, because it really is an amazing school. Yes, you have to win a lottery to get into Sturgis. I am very glad that you actually learned that since your last article about us. We have a lottery because (as you said) there are more people that apply than we can actually let in. The lottery is the fairest way to let students into the school, because we can only let in so many. I am in Sturgis, I take a public yellow school bus (just like the one in the picture), where we can't eat (it's not allowed). Maybe, while you're looking into schools on the Cape, you should look into Cape Cod Technical High School (the school that was actually involved in this incident). As, they DO SELECT who gets in, you have to have an interview with them! So, please leave us poor old Sturgis kids, while we stay up till two in the morning working our asses off. But, don't worry we work on our golden laptops, eating caviar, to wake up in the morning and blow rainbows out of our asses! Thank God, you actually said something worthy of listening to, the fact that the only thing you can TRY and "churn" up is crap, if you can even call it that.

  28. Thank you for removing the HyannisNews.com photo… and replacing it with what you have now. Please send along a direct email address and I'll add you to our distribution list, so you can license photos directly.

  31. Congratulations on telling a bunch of teenagers to kill themselves, I guess. Sorry you're so bitter that you have to threaten children who have a little bit of school pride.

  33. You know what I think I think you should think about what you just said. Monomoy, sandwich, Falmouth they all smoke mad weed and get drunk. Over never gotten drunk oh but guess what, yep… I go to Sturgis shocking really. They all do it. Do you poop rainbows? I dont think so. I get It your jealous. No one cares dude. Just shut up already man.

  34. Let me tell you something. I go to Sturgis, and I do not own a solid gold laptop. In fact, I know many people in my school who can't even afford laptops. You think the CCTRA is fancy? I ate a breakfast bar on there one time and the bus driver threatened me by saying if I ever ate on his bus again he would kick me off. I know, you're shocked it was a breakfast bar, not the typical caviar, right? Let's not forget, I was bullied to the point of transferring when I went to my normal Falmouth public schools. God forbid I was out as a lesbian in those days. At Sturgis, I am free to express myself and be myself. At my normal Falmouth public schools, I would have gotten the opposite of such for being exactly who I am. I am a child who has aspergers, OCD, and anxiety, and no school would treat me as well as they do at Sturgis. At any other school, I am a freak. At Sturgis, we're all freaks. You have no right to assume that just because we have higher ranking MCAS scores and arguably better education systems that we are prudes who should be shamed for the fact that we got into a school that selects people randomly. And you certainly have no right to use a serious issue such as drunk driving to point fingers at Sturgis. Point fingers at people who operate motor vehicles with kids in them.

  45. Oh, yes. Sturgis is oh so lucky to be on the CCRTA buses. Did you know that most Sturgis students have to scrape together the $720 ($2,880 for all 4 years) that it costs to ride the RTA bus each school year? Oh, wait! You don't do any research whatsoever, so you wouldn't know that at all. Dare I mention that riding the RTA bus involves riding with people who are either constantly cat calling girls, getting so drunk that they either pass out or throw up, as well as people who piss on the bus? (Sometimes if we're super lucky to win that lottery of the day, we deal with passengers who do all of the above!) So no, "The Real Cape", I am not eating my damn caviar on the bus because I'd rather not get cocaine on it from the woman snorting it next to me.
    The only person not doing "anyone any good… ever." is you. You clearly have no life, considering you waste your time picking on high school students who have a better education than you've ever had. You absolutely disgust me; the fact that you anonymously sit behind a computer screen (sorry it isn't solid gold) writing bullshit, tell people to kill themselves, and lets not forget the whole purpose of this article: to make drunk driving jokes about something that could have potentially harmed or killed students, as well as put the lives of other people on the road at high risks.
    For the record, I'd rather have rainbows coming out of my ass, than have my head in my ass. That must be extremely uncomfortable for you.

  47. I've taken the RTA bus for four years now and every day there is a guy who hasn't worn underwear or pulled his pants up over his crack once. Though my favorite experience was when the guy behind me was yelling on the phone about how he was going to leave the guy who banged his girlfriend "naked in a ditch" if he saw him at the restraining order trial. The best transportation $1.50 a day can buy.

  49. There was a woman. I still remember her. She just laughed. "Where are you going" said the bus driver… "HAHAHHhAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" and gets of the bus, turns around "HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH". The voice… I haven't slept since. Those horrible.. horrible nightmares
