A friend of Illgen's said she warned her not to go to the races before the raid, Local 6 News reported.

Deputies also issued 159 traffic citations to people at the races, according to the report.

Illgen has been an Osceola County school bus driver for five years, according to the report.

School officials will look at records to determine if Illgen keeps her bus driving job.
