Pa. woman allegedly hits bus driver with snowball

[February 03, 2010]  JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- A western Pennsylvania woman faces a hearing on charges that she hit a transit but driver in the head with a snowball because he wouldn't let her board with an expired bus pass.

Lateia Jefferson, 20, was accused of cursing at the Cambria County Transit Authority driver and hitting him with the snowball on Jan. 20.

Her preliminary hearing on charges of disorderly conduct, harassment and resisting arrest was set for March 4 before a district judge in Johnstown.

Police said the driver wasn't injured.

Online court records don't list an attorney for Jefferson and The Associated Press could not immediately locate a listed telephone for her.
