A Knox County school bus driver foiled the theft of a neighbor’s trailer on Friday morning while on his bus route.
“Neighborhood watch is the best thing that ever happened,” said Harry Mabry, 65.
Mabry, a 16-year bus driver, was on his way to pick up students about 6:45 a.m. Friday when he noticed a truck on East Raccoon Valley Road pulling a trailer he’d seen in a neighbor’s yard on Halls Gap Road for at least three months, he said.
He blocked the two-lane road with his bus so the truck could not leave and then called 911, he said.
