An Ohio bus driver is in hot water after a photo went viral of her appearing to drink from a bottle of booze while in the driver's seat of her school bus.

A close examination of the selfie shows that the cap is still on the bottle; however, her employer has suspended her over the questionable pic.

The First Student bus company, which operates in the Princeton School District in Ohio, released a statement Tuesday night:

"We understand and share in the concern this photo has caused the Princeton community. As soon as we became aware of the photo, we immediately began an internal review of the matter. We are incredibly disappointed by our driver's actions.

"While we have determined the photo was taken at the end of the driver's route; that no students were on board; and, that the bottle was unopened, this behavior is completely unacceptable. Behavior such as this does not align with company policy and the high standards First Student strives for in all we do."
