I'm a Cop, Kids. Uh, Not Really

[February 26, 2008]  ECONOMY, Pa. (AP) -- A school bus driver in Beaver County said he told students he was an undercover officer so they wouldn't misbehave on the bus. They didn't.

But the real police said what William Dunn, 59, did was wrong and have charged him with impersonating a public servant. Police said Dunn flashed a badge and identified himself as an undercover officer to at least three people on Feb. 5.

Dunn said a fellow bus driver, who has asthma, had been harassed by students, and he was driving her route that day.

Dunn said he didn't mean any harm.
