<p>A bus driver was arrested for allegedly transporting the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pittsburgh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pittsburgh</a> Pirates while under the influence.</p>
<p>Officers escorting the bus on Thursday night as it was departing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chicago" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago</a>, where the team had just ended a series, en route to Milwaukee reportedly noticed the vehicle was acting strangely.</p>
<p>&#8220;During the escort, the bus driver, 61-year-old Ronald E. Funderburke from Shelby, NC, was not following the escort and was traveling away from the escorting officers,&#8221; a spokesperson with the Illinois State Police <a href="https://cwbchicago.com/2023/06/police-escort-arrests-pittsburgh-pirates-bus-driver-dui-chicago.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told CWB Chicago</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Troopers observed more erratic driving and stopped the bus on the right shoulder of Interstate 94 northbound at Dempster Street,&#8221; the spokesperson added.</p>
<p>&#8220;After observing multiple signs of impairment, troopers arrested Funderburke for driving under the influence of alcohol and transported him to Chicago Police Department 16th District,&#8221; the spokesperson concluded.</p>
<p>Brian Warecki, senior vice president of communications for the Pirates, said &#8220;we are deeply concerned&#8221; about what transpired that night.</p>
<p>&#8220;The important thing is that all of our personnel arrived in Milwaukee safely,” Warecki said. “Buses are contracted out to a local provider, which was consistent with this trip, and we are now in communication with the appropriate parties regarding this matter.”</p>
<p>The Pirates made it to their destination in Milwaukee, where the team proceeded to get swept by the Brewers in a three-game series.</p>
