MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A bus company, perhaps accidentally, set up shop outside of the Criminal Justice Center in Memphis in order to recruit new drivers.
Local Memphis reports that a Durham Bus Services bus was parked illegally in a no parking zone outside of the CJC, with employees handing out fliers to people who were at the center to pay traffic fines and complete other tasks.
When asked why they were recruiting in front of the jail, the employees replied “they just sent us down here.”
Management for Durham responded to requests for comment by saying that they didn’t know the employees had set up in front of the CJC, and shouldn’t have.
“I would be upset if I found out they found a bus driver for my kids at the building here. That’s terrible,” said Ashley Thornell, a resident.
A spokeswoman for the bus service said they do background checks on all employees, and that applicants have to be “squeaky clean to become a bus driver.”
Shortly after media began to ask questions, the Durham employees packed up and pulled out of their illegal parking spot.
