MERIDIAN, Idaho — A 79-year-old school bus driver is facing a felony charge after police say he forced a young girl to touch him inappropriately as she was getting onto his bus this week.
Leroy Eveard Morris of Meridian is held in the Ada County Jail on one count of lewd conduct.
According to the Ada County Sheriff's Office, deputies began investigating Thursday after receiving a complaint that Morris had made a sexual innuendo-type comment to a preteen girl on his bus. During that investigation, deputies found evidence that he had had "inappropriate sexual contact" with a different preteen as she boarded his school bus.
