School Bus Driver Facing Sex Charges Mistakenly Released

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Las Vegas-area substitute school bus driver facing felony charges of sexually abusing a child is back in jail after being mistakenly released on bail.

The Las Vegas Sun reports 52-year-old Ramiro Garcia was re-arrested Wednesday after being bailed out two days prior because of a data entry error.

Garcia is facing felony charges of child sexual assault, lewdness and abuse or neglect and is scheduled to appear in Las Vegas Justice Court Feb. 8.

Attorney Damian Sheets says he plans to seek Garcia's re-release on bail and says his client is innocent of the charges.

A Clark County spokesman tells the Las Vegas Sun that Garcia was released on bond for one charge but the court's system should have noted the other felony counts didn't offer bail.
