A public bus driver in Milwaukee was sentenced to six years in prison last week after pleading guilty to killing a pedestrian while driving a bus drunk.
According to the criminal complaint bystanders reported, a Milwaukee County transit system bus hit 61-year-old George Kaiser last November, knocking him unconscious.
Kaiser was pronounced dead at the scene.

Today's your chance to tell Wisconsin Public Service what you think about proposed rate hikes.
The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin is hosting two public hearings this afternoon and evening at the Neville Public Museum in Green Bay.
Last spring, WPS asked to raise electric rates by 14% by the end of 2028.
That would add about $16 a month to the average customer's bill.
Natural gas rates would go up about $7 a month next year.
WPS officials say the price increase is needed to pay for new renewable energy sources and ongoing work to reduce outages and improve repair times.
The hearings are open to WPS customers throughout the utility's service area, which includes metro areas like Green Bay, Oshkosh, and Wasaw.
If you can't make the hearing at 2 p.m.
or 6 p.m.
in person today, there is a zoom link on PSC's web page.

Wisconsin drivers get a bit of relief at the pump this week, thanks to a refinery restart.
The average gas price across the state right now is about 430 a gallon.
That's down more than 13 cents from last week.
While prices around most of Wisconsin will fall somewhere between 418 and 447 a gallon, there are a couple of pockets showing numbers below 4 bucks a gallon on GasBuddy's price map.
Keep an eye out for those prices if you're driving south of Fond du Lac, west of Appleton, or all the way up north in the Marinette area.
Patrick Dahan with GasBuddy says diesel prices in the Great Lakes region should also begin easing, but it may take several more days to see that reflected at the pump.
Dahan says the current geopolitical situation can still push prices in either direction with little warning.
