**Buffalo Police Department Reports Arrest in School Bus Assault Case**
BUFFALO, NY – The Buffalo Police Department has announced an arrest related to an incident on a school bus that occurred on October 2, 2024.
At approximately 3 p.m. that day, a school bus driver stopped her vehicle at the intersection of Cumberland Avenue and Salem Street after a student unbuckled their seat belt and stood up. The driver deemed it unsafe to continue driving. During this time, a parent, identified as Jamieson Lococo, 38, of Buffalo, entered the bus after a child opened the rear emergency door.
Lococo allegedly removed several children from the bus, leaving them in the street without supervision. The bus driver informed Lococo that he was not permitted to be on the bus. He then allegedly charged down the aisle and shoved the 72-year-old bus driver, causing injuries to her neck, back, and shoulder.
Lococo has been charged with:
- One count of Assault in the Second Degree, a class D felony (NYS PL 120.05-12).
- One count of Reckless Endangerment of a Child, a class A misdemeanor (NYS PL 260.10-1).
- One count of Harassment in the Second Degree, a violation (NYS PL 240.26-1).
The arrest was made on October 7, 2024.
