PINEVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky State Police say a former school bus driver accused of inappropriately touching a female student on several occasions has been arrested.
Troopers tell news outlets that 68-year-old David Deitsch was charged Friday with first-degree sexual abuse. WKYT-TV on Monday cited his arrest citation as saying that he is accused of inappropriately touching the student while she was getting on and off the bus.
