Transit Police have arrested the bus driver involved in this morning’s ticket-rage smashup in Kenmore Square and charged her with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and operating to endanger.

Lataria Milton, 34, a 10-year veteran of the T, will be arraigned tomorrow morning in Roxbury District Court, said authority spokesman Joe Pesaturo.

Milton hit a meter maid and three other cars after she was slapped with a $75 ticket for parking illegally in the heart of Kenmore Square this morning, authorities said.

The veteran city parking enforcement supervisor who remains hospitalized this afternoon, told her boss, “Tommy, if the bus didn’t hit the vehicle first, I’d be dead,” Boston Transportation Department Commissioner Thomas J. Tinlin told the Herald

Looks like just another entitlement-sucking union whore to me.

It was attempted murder with a motor vehicle. Lacteria tried to run her over with her government provided bus, smashing three other private vehicles in the process.

Her entitlement mentality likely made her feel she could park anywhere she wanted to because she was a gubmint employee.

You know, if there was a waiting period and a background check for buses, this mass autocrushing incident wouldn't have happened. We should all join together in a bipartisan effort to have federal background checks for all bus transactions!
