FOX6 does not know what bus route he drove, or the age of the victim, only that the victim is a minor.

Village of Pewaukee Police Chief Timothy Heier says his officers reviewed bus surveillance video and conducted interviews about an incident that occurred on Tuesday, May 13.

Police have only said it was, quote, "alleged improper conduct" and that the incident occurred on the bus, and not school property.

The 62-year-old worked for GO Riteway Bus Company.

In a letter to parents, the superintendent of Pewaukee schools told families this was a, quote, "child-related crime."

Letter that was sent out to Pewaukee School District families

The district says the bus company placed the man on leave, and he will no longer drive for the district.

The parents FOX6 spoke with were shocked.

"It tells me something not good – something to have to maybe worry about a little bit.  We’ll hear more, I’m sure, soon," said Cheryl Noordeh.

What's next:

The Waukesha County District Attorney's Office is reviewing potential criminal charges.

The police and the superintendent declined requests for interviews. FOX6 also reached out to GO Riteway by email and have not yet heard back.
