The school bus that was hit by a drunk driver on March 22, 2024, in Redmond was parked at Baker High School on May 29.

The Central Oregon woman charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants in the March 22 crash that injured several Baker High School students attending the state FFA convention in Redmond has filed for a delay in entering a plea in Deschutes County Circuit Court.

The attorney representing Katrina Nicole Dacus, 35, of Culver, filed a motion for continuance on July 21.

Dacus was scheduled to enter a plea to more than 20 criminal charges on July 24.

In addition to the drunken driving count, Dacus is charged with eight counts of fourth-degree assault, 15 counts of recklessly endangering another person, one count of reckless driving and one count of second-degree criminal mischief (for damage to the bus).

Four of the BHS students were treated at a hospital after the crash. Dacus drove past a stop sign where a road meets Highway 126 on the west side of Redmond.

Dacus was cited for driving while her license was suspended on June 13 on Highway 97 near Madras.
