An employee of Roy’s Café in Amboy was arrested Thursday, accused of slashing a bus driver with a knife. According to a Sheriff’s report, a bus stopped at Roy’s Café and the driver started handing out bottles of water to the passengers. A female employee came out just before 2 p.m. and started berating the driver for passing out the water. The woman’s husband, later identified as Arthur Perry, 58, of Yucca Valley, saw the altercation and came out to confront the bus driver. The report states that Perry brandished a knife and told the bus driver he would kill him. The bus driver received a slash on his hand and he punched Perry in the eye in self-defense. Witnesses intervened and broke up the fight. The responding deputy found three knives on Perry and Perry admitted to threatening the bus driver. Arthur Perry was arrested for investigation of assault and making criminal threats, booked into West Valley Detention Center with his bail set at $50,000.
