Stun gun pulled on bus driver

A woman is in jail after reportedly threatening an RTA bus driver with a stun gun.

Around 1:15 p.m. Monday, Dayton police were called to the 600 block of South Edwin C. Moses Boulevard for a disorderly subject on an RTA bus that was threatening the driver with a Taser.

“She was highly agitated and was yelling at the driver of the bus,” the police report reads.

The woman, identified as Tymeisha Williams, did exit the bus when police arrived with a stroller and her infant son. Williams told police the bus driver reportedly hit the brakes in a way that nearly caused her son’s stroller to tip over.

Williams then told police she reportedly removed a Taser from her diaper bag and “sparked it off,” according to the police report.

Police also interviewed the bus driver, who was crying and visibly upset. The 58-year-old female bus driver said she’d just gotten an emergency phone call from her daughter who was being taken into emergency surgery for a C-section, police said.

The bus driver said Williams sparked the stun gun several times during their verbal argument.

“As professional I lost my cool and couldn’t take anymore stress; I called her several names to try and scare her back away from me,” the bus driver’s statement reads.

As officers were trying to put Williams in handcuffs, she became verbally combative and tried to pull away, according to police. Once inside the police cruiser, Williams was banging her head on the window and had to be restrained for her safety, officers said.

Williams, 20, is in Montgomery County Jail on charges of aggravated menacing, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.
