A Gwinnett County Public Schools bus driver was arrested on accusations he molested a 7-year-old girl on his bus.

Hugo Dominguez, 49, was fired last month when the allegations were first brought to the school district, Channel 2 Action News reported. He had been with the district for 10 years.

Authorities say that between Oct. 24 and Nov. 16 Dominguez inappropriately touched the girl on a bus in a Lawrenceville shopping center across from Simonton Elementary School, according to the news station.
