HOUSTON -- A suspected drunken driver was charged in connection with the death of a student who was fatally hit seconds after she got off a school bus, KPRC Local 2 reported Wednesday.
Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District officials said several Bleyl Middle School students got off the bus in the 13400 block of Cypress Forest Drive near Lynn Drive at about 3 p.m. Tuesday.
Harris County Precinct 4 deputy constables said a driver, John Winne, ran a stop sign, hit the bus and then hit 13-year-old Nicole Lalime.
"Passing a school bus is a senseless thing," Capt. Paul Staton said. "Obviously, those warning lights and the stop sign, that now is required and comes out from the side of the bus, that's telling you that children are here."
Detectives said Winne kept going.
Lalime was rushed to Methodist Willowbrook Hospital and then transferred to Texas Children's Hospital, where she died at about 7 p.m.
Deputy constables said they tracked down Winne about five miles from the scene. Investigators said a homeowner called the Harris County Sheriff's Office when Winne ran through their front yard and tried to park his car in their back yard.
Winne, 30, was shocked with a Taser gun three times and taken back to the scene where witnesses positively identified him, officials said.
"It is our belief that he was intoxicated at the time of the accident," Chief Mark Herman said.
He was taken to a hospital for treatment for his injuries.
Winne was arrested charged with intoxication manslaughter and failure to stop and render assistance. He had a warrant out for his arrest on a terroristic threat charge.
"I have no information that he's shown remorse for what has occurred," Staton said.
Winne has prior convictions for driving while intoxicated.
Each charge carries a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted.
Another example of why I support the death penalty. This POS was laughing, and making air kisses at the news cameras as they brought him in.

How drunk do you have to be to try and park in the backyard?

Maximum of 20 years.
They should put this guy in max for that 20 years, and make sure to tell his inmates that he killed a little girl.

Actually, either not that drunk or drunk enough to not know how drunk. At least, in my experience, one or the other.

Here's the video from today. I was hoping they'd show the guy's f**ked up attitude outburst again, but they just showed clips of him looking like a scumbag.

I had pretty much the same reaction, except replace "castrate" with "behead", and "pliers" with "hedge trimmers".

They should play that clip for the inmates of the county jail, after he gets there. He'll never make it to trial in one piece.

With luck, the guards there will let it "slip" to the other inmates what he did and what his response was. And then suddenly find pressing matters elsewhere in the prison when Mr Jackass encounters said inmates.

Inmate "recruitment" IS actually rather popular with guards. Speaking from firsthand experience here.

Is that what they call it?
Well, here's hoping Mr Asshole here gets what he deserves.

I dare say he'll be regreting it after he pulls the train in the prison wash room a few times.

A bit too quick for my taste, Tsuki. Shall we agree to disagree here?
