Yancey's five young children were on that bus and school security accuses three of them with joining the fracas.

Yancey
is facing charges of criminal trespass third-degree, two counts of
assault third-degree, three counts of unlawful transaction with a minor
and disorderly conduct in the second degree.

Authorities said
Yancey boarded a JCPS bus at Jackson and St. Catherine streets,
attacking the driver and pulling the female bus monitor off the vehicle
and assaulting her.

"She's been unfairly charged because my kids were assaulted," said the Stepfon Nolan, the father of the children.

Nolan
contends the bus driver grabbed his 9-year-old daughter and the bus
monitor began spewing profanities and smacked the girl.

"My daughter was choked and pushed off the bus," said Nolan.

"By the driver?" WLKY's Steve Burgin asked.

"By the driver, and he's a man," Nolan said.

Nolan said what ever the children did was in defense of their mother.

Yancey
called WLKY on Wednesday and explained her kids go to Portland
Elementary on Northwestern Parkway where she has issues with the
principal, then called again about the confrontation on the bus.

Last
October, Yancey was charged with assaulting a school employee at Byck
Elementary on Cedar Street, later pleading guilty to terroristic
threatening.

Nolan said Yancey was undergoing treatment at the
hospital for the injuries she sustained during the bus scuffle when she
was arrested.

Yancey is due back in court March 3.
