"What's the odds of someone actually getting punctured with a syringe?" he asked. "So, it drops and the person nearby gets scratched with it, and not punctured with a syringe. We're talking about a needle here."

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — He was irate that a student was able to get on the bus with the syringe in the first place.

Varnadore was also upset that the school didn't notify him about the incident for several hours.

"There's a lot of stuff that, you know, that can carry on that needle that are life threatening," he said. "When I say life threatening, it can cause death, you know, whether it's now (or) later."

Seminole County Schools officials said they did not consider the incident criminal in nature.
