Inmate Who Changed Tire Was Trusty
LEAGUE CITY — State prison officials said an inmate who replaced a flat tire on a prison bus Tuesday night in League City was a trusty from a prison unit in Sugar Land and not one of the inmates being transported on the disabled bus.
The trusty was part of a prison wrecker crew sent to help fix the bus that was stranded in a parking lot of FM 518 and Interstate 45 because of a blown tire.
The bus carrying prisoners from the Texas Department of Corrections medical facility in Galveston had a flat at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.
A second bus was brought in, and the inmates were transferred from the first bus and then taken to their prison units, prison spokeswoman Michelle Lyons said.
Some motorists at the busy intersection were alarmed because prison guards surrounded the buses with shotguns during the transfer.
