Bus driver strands Billikens

The Saint Louis University men's basketball team lost a game to St. Bonaventure - and then its bus.

The Billikens walked out of the arena Wednesday night following the team's 70-55 loss to the Bonnies, and their bus was nowhere to be found, said New York State Police Trooper James O'Callaghan. The driver, later identified as 56-year-old Linda Edmister of Gasport, N.Y., had taken off.

State police said the bus was eventually stopped in Randolph, about 40 miles from the arena. 

Troopers charged Edmister with driving a commercial vehicle while intoxicated. Police say her blood alcohol content was 0.22 percent.
