A short time later, Officer Rick Crome made contact with the school bus, and conducted a traffic stop at Long Avenue and Hwy. 66.  The suspect, Pamela Twilla of Lynn, Arkansas was arrested from behind the wheel and transported to the Stone County Detention Center.

On September 25, 2016, during a post miranda interview, Pamela Twilla told Investigator Blake Cruz that she took the bus because she was tired of walking.
