GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — The man behind the wheel of a tour bus that sped through a Green Bay intersection, crashed and injured dozens pleaded not guilty Monday.
Ghebry Figueroa, 37, was charged last month with two felony counts of operating a vehicle with a revoked license and causing great bodily harm following the crash. He was bound over for trial April 1.
On court Monday, Figueroa pleaded not guilty to the counts.
According to a criminal complaint, Figueroa told officers his brakes failed as he came down the exit ramp from I-43 to Webster Avenue.
Prosecutors say he was driving the bus without a license when it crashed. A representative for the Illinois Secretary of State's office confirmed Figueroa has not had a valid driver's license or commercial driver's license in nine years. Both licenses were revoked in 2017, making it illegal for him to drive any vehicle.
Figueroa is due back in court July 9.
