A New Jersey school bus company operated unsafe buses, failed to conduct required background checks and hired drivers with criminal records, including one who was a registered sex offender, according to an indictment released Tuesday.
The indictment also charged Paterson-based A-1 Elegant Tours with falsifying documents it provided to school districts to cover its tracks. Owner Shelim Khalique, of Wayne, and manager Henry Rhodes, of Paterson, face charges including conspiracy, misconduct by a corporate official, false representations for a government contract and theft by deception. Those crimes each carry a potential prison sentence of five to 10 years.
