An argument between a passenger and a driver during a Wednesday morning route turned violent, according to deputies and Action News Jax.
Joel Parker was riding the bus, and as he was about to get off on A1A, he asked the driver if he wanted a Snickers bar, according to St. Johns County police. The driver said no. Parker then took a Snickers bar and threw it at the driver's head.
Deputies were called and Parker was arrested for battery. The report said Parker was threatening the driver and making a disturbance.
Parker has a $250 bond. He has also been issued a trespass warning and is not allowed to use the bus service again.
The company said it isn’t able to comment until the investigation is complete.
“Well, I don't think it's very nice," said Sharon Schrader, a visitor. "That guy should've never thrown it at his head."
“It sounds dangerous; it sounds very rude actually,” said Brittany Vandement, a neighbor.
