A Waverly Shell Rock bus driver has been charged for allegedly assaulting a student on his bus.
36 year old Travis John Neve was charged with a simple misdemeanor charge of simple assault. According to court records an 11 year old boy was riding home on the bus south of Shell Rock on September 27 when the driver assaulted him.
Part of the incident was captured on the bus’ video camera and shows Neve lifting the boy into the air. The boy’s mom said she reviewed the video and did state that her son was in the wrong originally by standing on the bus.
Neve has been cooperating with the investigation.
A correction is needed for one of our previous stories. 36-year-old Travis John Neve of Allison was reported to have been arrested for allegedly assaulting a student on his bus on September 27th. We have confirmed with the Waverly Police Department, Black Hawk County Sheriff’s Department, and Butler County Sheriff’s Department that he has no record of arrest on his file after Neve contacted KWAY with the correction. Neve faces simple assault charges and has since been terminated as a bus driver for the Waverly-Shell Rock school district.
