Man arrested after Clark County school bus driver attacked
School district police arrested a man suspected of assaulting a school bus driver this week.
Otis Tanner, 46, is facing charges of battery on a protected person, burglary, assaulting a school employee and child abuse.
On Thursday morning, Tanner allegedly attacked a driver near Tonopah and Vegas drives, according to the Clark County School District.
The school district said it is still investigating a Wednesday evening attack on another driver that involved several adults near Boulder Highway and Russell Road.
A jury found Tanner guilty of attempted murder, battery, and discharging a firearm in March 1998, and he was sentenced to a minimum of four years in prison, according to District Court records.
The year before, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery with use of a deadly weapon.
Tanner remains in custody and is due in court on Saturday.
