Fresno County Crime Update: Hit-and-Run, Drug Bust, and Former School Bus Driver Accused of Lewd Acts
Published 8 months, 1 week ago
Description
A hit-and-run collision occurred on August 15 at the intersection of South Marks Avenue and West Manning Avenue in Fresno County. According to JG Winter Law, this incident resulted in injuries, and authorities are seeking information from the public as the case remains under investigation.
In the Madera Ranchos area, law enforcement executed a traffic stop on August 13. California Highway Patrol Central Division officers seized approximately five pounds of cocaine from a pickup truck after a canine unit alerted during a search. The driver was booked into Fresno County Jail on multiple drug-related charges as well as an outstanding drug trafficking warrant from another state, reported by GV Wire and CHP Central Division.
On August 15, Fresno police responded to a non-injury, two-vehicle collision near the westbound Highway 168 entrance at Shields Avenue. The incident caused significant traffic delays while tow crews cleared the area. According to GV Wire, no arrests were made and no criminal behavior was suspected.
An unsealed criminal complaint details multiple felony counts of alleged lewd acts committed by a former Fresno County school bus driver, Charles Ferguson. He is accused of sexual abuse against an underage female between 2017 and 2022. The Fresno County Sheriff's Office, as reported by ABC30, confirmed Ferguson was originally arrested in April and again earlier this month when further evidence was developed. He has posted bail and is awaiting arraignment on August 22. Because authorities do not believe he used his employment to contact additional victims, no public request for assistance is currently active.
Significant trends from this past week include continued concerns related to narcotics transportation through Fresno County and a major hit-and-run incident resulting in injuries. There are no indications of a broader public safety threat connected to these incidents, but listeners are reminded to remain vigilant on the roadways and to report suspicious activity immediately.
Anyone with information about any of these cases or other criminal activity is urged to contact the Fresno Police Department or Fresno County Sheriff’s Office. For emergencies, dial 911. For non-emergencies or to provide anonymous crime tips, contact Crime Stoppers at (559) 498-STOP.
