A school bus driver in Texas has been accused of brandishing a knife and threatening to cut three sixth-graders who left Oreo crumbs on a seat.
Officials say police confiscated a pocket knife from 66-year-old William Allen on Friday in Mansfield. He was taken into custody on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Two students told their parents Allen removed them from the bus Wednesday at Mary Orr Intermediate School. They say he threatened to cut their wrists if they didn't admit to spilling crumbs.

The gender of Rudolph and his or her sleigh-hauling friends — the subject of goofy Internet chatter every year around this time — is now being pondered by renowned wildlife experts at Texas A&M University.

A BRITON who lent $11 to a cash-strapped Australian while travelling through Europe has had his loan repaid - nearly 40 years later, a report said.
Jim Webb, 72, was in the Belgian coastal town of Ostend in April 1969 with a friend when he met Gary Fenton who asked for a loan to pay for a ferry journey back to Britain.
Mr Fenton promised to repay Mr Webb and noted down his address when the trio landed in England.
Last Sunday Mr Webb returned to his home in Sheffield to find a hand-delivered package with $439 - $11 for each year the loan had not been paid - and a note that read: "To Jim Webb, a good man. From Gary Fenton, a tardy payer of debts."
"I was quite emotional when I read it," Mr Webb told the BBC. "In this day and age promises are made and promises are broken and you lose your faith in human nature.
