Plymouth police arrested a woman Wednesday who was accused of recklessly driving around a school bus and nearly hitting a boy who was trying to get on last Friday. 59-year-old Brenda Mello of Plymouth faces charges of failure to stop for a school bus, reckless operation of a motor vehicle and assault with a dangerous weapon. Police said Mello used a resident’s circular driveway to pass on the right side of a school bus that was stopped with red lights activated to pick up students. Surveillance video posted on social media by the boy’s mother shows the school bus stopping on Bourne Road on Friday morning. On the left, the boy moves to catch him as Mello’s white SUV turns. She veered off the road and into the boy’s path, nearly hitting him, before continuing onto the driveway. Alicia Tallent, the 11-year-old student’s mother, watched from the porch. “It was just like that.” “Stunning, stunning,” Tallent said. “A few steps and he would have been right in her way. He was running full speed and then he saw the car and just stopped and she just flew right through my driveway.”Tallent said she immediately called the police. Who answered the house? “You don’t normally see people coming through your driveway,” Tallent said. “I saw people walking past buses on the street, but I guess she didn’t want to wait and had something else to do.” Talent said she was grateful her son was paying attention, but believes everyone in the area was Be careful near school buses. “Even the younger children, because there are kindergarten children on his bus,” Tallent said. “Children are unpredictable; You don’t know which direction they’re going to go.” In a statement, Plymouth Police said: “We take complaints about school buses very seriously and will hold violators to account if they put our students at risk.” We ask the public, “Think before you act behind the wheel.” Police said Mello is expected to be arraigned in Plymouth District Court on Wednesday.
