Officials said the driver works for First Student Transportation near Cincinnati.

A First Student official said that an internal investigation found that the bottle was unopened, and the driver took the photo at the end of her route with no students on board.

Still, the driver was immediately fired by her employer. The company released the following statement: "We are incredibly disappointed by our driver's actions. Behavior such as this does not align with company policy and the high standards First Student strives for in all we do."

According to the Huffington Post report, some upset parents want the woman banned from ever driving a bus again.
