A Long Island school bus driver is accused of having a side job selling heroin.
Authorities in Suffolk County say 38-year-old Anna Kovarick, of Bayshore, would drive students to private schools in the West Islip area, including St. John the Baptist High School, then park her bus, and go and sell the drug.
In the afternoon, prosecutors said she would return to school in her bus to drive students home, then sell more heroin after her shift ended. She allegedly made sales in front of the Acme bus depot where she worked in Bohemia, and was selling anywhere from 300 to 500 bags of heroin every two to three days under the direction of her boyfriend, who is in prison, they said.

What is interesting is the lack of evidence given to the public.

Prosecutors said she used the money to pay off her boyfriend's drug debts. But her attorney said there's just no proof any of this happened.
"There's no confession here," said Christopher Cassar, her attorney. "They claim she's this major drug dealer, but they haven't recovered any money. So these are factors that make the case weak."

Although prosecutor insist they have evidence that she sold to undercover officers, they go on to say:

Kovarick was arrested on April 10 and she was ordered held on $100,000 bail.
The district attorney said there was no evidence Kovarick drove the bus while under the influence of the drug.

Before you jump the gun on her, remember her boyfriend was a drug dealer that went to jail.
There are already conflicting reports of this story too:
Quote:
Kovarick was arrested on April 10 and his being held without bail. The district attorney said there was no evidence she drove the bus while under the influence.
The indictment is to be unsealed in Riverhead court on Wednesday.

Is she being held without bail, or is the bail $100,000? Are prosecutors trying to go after her because of her boyfriend?
Not everything is as it seems with this story.
The indictment was suppose to be unsealed on Wednesday, that was yesterday the 23rd.
And this source furthers the confusion:

Kovarick is being held on $50,000 cash bail and $150,000 bond. She is due back in court next month.
