ORIGINAL STORY
The Salem father who is accused of attacking a school bus driver is scheduled to be in court Tuesday.
He says the driver inappropriately touched his daughter.
As we've reported, Salem police say the man boarded a bus full of high school students last Monday and hit the driver.
The driver, 70-year-old Johnny Couch, was fired the next day and charged with assault and battery, plus contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Police would not say if the cases are connected.
We are not identifying the man charged with attacking the bus driver, because of the case he says involves his daughter.
