PEMBROKE, MASS. (WHDH) - A Pembroke man is facing a slew of charges after an officer saw him swerve around a school bus and then try to evade arrest, police said.
A Pembroke police officer was stopped behind a school bus that was letting kids off Tuesday afternoon when 40-year-old Paul Walsh sped around them, according to a release issued by the department.
The bus had its stop sign extended and lights were activated at the time.

Open containers of alcohol and marijuana were reportedly found in the car.
He was taken into custody and is facing a number of charges, including a fourth offense for operating under the influence of alcohol, failure to stop for police and a school bus and operating to endanger.
