Bus Driver Arrested After Cruise Attempt | Charlotte News

A former school bus driver in North Carolina, Ricky Taylor, was arrested in Florida after trying to board a cruise ship—just as authorities tracked him down for a felony charge of indecent liberties with a student. The allegation surfaced in November 2024, prompting an investigation that led to his arrest in August 2026 after he’d fled the state. Taylor, who worked for Rowan-Salisbury Schools for just over a year and had already resigned before the allegations came to light, is now facing serious charges and is being held in Rowan County. He’s at least four years older than the minor involved, and details remain under wraps due to the victim’s age. This case underscores how critical it is to pursue justice across state lines when abuse allegations are made. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
