RICHMOND, Va. — Glenn Davidson and Butch Earnheart drive by Community High School in Richmond almost every day.
The two contractors have been steadily working together on a home within walking distance of the school, and almost every afternoon during the school week, they see multiple school buses lined up outside of the school on Woodrow Avenue.
It’s a spot where both Davidson and Earnheart said they drive cautiously.
But last month, both men were slapped with two separate $250 fines for allegedly passing a school bus with its stop sign out, a violation of Virginia law.
They each got two separate tickets, in the same spot, at almost the same time, though on different days.
Both men told CBS 6 they did not see the stop sign along the row of buses, any flashing lights, or any students or staff moving around the area on either day.
“You can see the shadow of another bus covering it,” Davidson said while he pointed to photos attached to one of his tickets. “I’ve never seen anything like this.”
