Pregnant Bus Driver Lady Lied About Hijacking, Has Some 'Splainin To Do

Yesterday's hijacking of a Capital Metro bus from downtown Austin turns out to have been a lie. Police today arrested the pregnant bus driver, who now faces charges of perjury and making a false report to a peace officer. The ensuing manhunt after yesterday's announcement caused a mild uproar among residents in Southwest Austin, where the imagined hijacker was believed to have fled. [KXAN]
