Douglas Lofstrom also faces misdemeanor charges for his June comments
A former Valley Transportation Authority bus driver who allegedly made shooting threats over an employee vaccine mandate will likely be barred from owning a weapon for another year.
after colleagues allegedly overheard him say there would be “some shooting” and “if I get fired today, you’re going to see me on the news.” Authorities also searched Lofstrom’s Scotts Valley home near Santa Cruz for weapons but did not find anything. The comments came hours before a disciplinary hearing about Lofstrom’s vaccine status, though, he stated in an online post that has now been taken down that he had received the required shots.
Lofstrom was originally represented by the Public Defender’s office for his comments in June, but then this month hired the San Jose-based Jachimowicz Law Group.
