Man drives across lawn to avoid stopping for school bus in Elmira

ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) — On Oct. 14, a man cut through a yard to avoid stopping for a school bus for the second time. One Elmira homeowner, whose lawn was driven across, is fed up and concerned for his handicapped daughter. Tim Rolls, who lives on W. Church Street in Elmira, has caught the perpetrator on camera twice. Rolls said the handicap school bus takes longer and usually a line of traffic gathers behind it.

“About a month ago, a guy cut through the yard and went through two of my neighbors yards,” said Roll. On Oct. 14, the perpetrator did it again and Rolls confronted him.

“He didn’t have anything nice to say,” said Rolls. “I got the right license plate number and the police went and talked to him. They couldn’t get a good facial recognition off [of] my cameras, [so] they couldn’t get him for any of the violations.”
