Soto (the bus driver) tested positive for cocaine, according to a law enforcement source.
During the investigation, police discovered that Soto was also wanted in connection with an investigation of sex offenses involving children. Soto was charged in that case with predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a victim under 13.
Soto allegedly assaulted two 8-year-old girls in January of 2009 at his home on West Berwyn, authorities said. He assaulted one girl on Jan. 5 and the other girl on Jan. 6, authorities said.
In 1993, Soto was convicted of aggravated criminal sexual assault. He was released from prison in 1997 and was on parole until 2000, according to state records.
