SAUK CENTRE — A former Sauk Centre school bus driver has pleaded guilty to driving a bus full of children while he was drunk.

Sixty-three-year-old Thomas Richard Bromen pleaded guilty last week to a misdemeanor count of driving a commercial motor vehicle while intoxicated.

Bromen picked up 50 students from school by bus on Feb. 5. According to court records, two day-care providers called the Sauk Centre Public Schools bus garage to report Bromen forgot to drop off students that afternoon.
