JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsylvania woman faces a hearing on charges that she hit a transit bus driver in the head with a snowball because he wouldn’t let her board with an expired bus pass.

Twenty-year-old Lateia Jefferson, of Dale, is accused of cursing at the Cambria County Transit Authority driver and hitting him with the snowball Jan. 20.

Her preliminary hearing on charges of disorderly conduct, harassment and resisting arrest is set for March 4 before a district judge in Johnstown.

Police say the driver wasn’t injured.
