A bus driver contracted to the Pirates was charged with a DUI after he was pulled over while transporting the team following Pittsburgh’s game against the Cubs on Thursday.
The driver, who was not affiliated with the team, was pulled over by state troopers roughly 25 minutes away from Wrigley Field on Thursday evening, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The bus was transporting the Pirates from Chicago to Milwaukee, and was traveling with a police escort at the time. Illinois state police indicated the driver, 61-year-old Ronald Funderburke of Shelby, N.C., was not following the escort and was displaying multiple signs of impairment.
