TAMPA, FLA. (WSVN) – A traffic stop in Tampa led a woman to crash her car into a school bus and lead deputies in a pursuit that ended with her in custody.<\/p>\n
Body camera footage captured the interaction between Hillsborough County Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies and 54-year-old Tonnetta Evans.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust do me a favor, step out real quick,\u201d said a deputy.<\/p>\n
\u201cStep out?\u201d said Evans.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, ma\u2019am,\u201d said the deputy.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor what?\u201d said Evans.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018Cause I\u2019m asking you to,\u201d said the deputy.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right. It is a license,\u201d said Evans.<\/p>\n
It was at that moment when Evans attempted to flee, hitting the bus, which was carrying 41 middle school students. She then put her car in reverse and continued driving.<\/p>\n
Deputies eventually caught up with Evans.<\/p>\n
No children were hurt.<\/p>\n
Following Evans\u2019 arrest, deputies said they found a pipe bomb, meth and stolen credit cards inside her vehicle.<\/p>\n
Evans is facing multiple charges, including aggravated battery on an officer and hit-and-run involving a school bus. <\/p>\n
