Guilty Verdict in Munising: Disturbing the Peace on School Bus

May 23, 2024- MUNISING- Yesterday, a jury returned a verdict of guilty against Lindsey Robbins for the crime of Disturbing the Peace.

The defendant was alleged to have trespassed on a Munising Public School’s bus while children were on board. The defendant then began screaming various obscenities at the children. Terry Bower, the bus driver, testified that he was concerned for the children’s safety, which prompted him to put his arm up to block the defendant from proceeding down the bus aisle.
