A JTA bus driver who was fired back in June for reportedly running over a woman, killing her, was in court for the first time on Thursday morning.
Jean Silney was arrested and charged with manslaughter and vehicular homicide Wednesday, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Sidney's bond was set at a combined total of $500,000, $350,000 for the first charge and $150,000 for the second.
His next court date is scheduled for Oct. 31.
On June 22 at 2:20 p.m., JSO responded to reports of a bus crash involving a pedestrian at the intersection of Maple Street and Pearl Street. Police found Rozar dead in the roadway in the 4500 block of Ocean Street.
Rozar's death was initially ruled by the medical examiner as an auto accident with blunt impact trauma, but after reviewing surveillance video taken from the bus, police were able to determine the events that led up to the crash.
Police said surveillance video showed Rozar and Silney got into an argument about the bus schedule.
After exchanging words, police said Rozar left the bus and Silney closed the glass door, trapping Rozar's arm. Silney then sped off with Rozar still trapped in the door, police said.
