DETROIT, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- A Detroit Public Schools bus driver was arrested after he allegedly pulled his bus alongside an undercover officer and propositioned her for sex.

The 30-year-old bus driver was transporting special needs students when he allegedly propositioned the officer and promised to return after he dropped the children off at school, The Detroit News reported.

"In my 35 years in law enforcement, I've seen a lot of outrageous things, particularly in the area of prostitution," Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans said in a statement. "But the very idea that someone entrusted with the safety and security of special needs children would instead put his own selfish and illicit needs first, blows my mind."

The bus driver was arrested and deputies took custody of the children and drove them to McKenny Elementary School. Their parents were notified, the newspaper reported.

The driver, who is being held pending arraignment, works for Detroit-based ABC Student Transportation, one of several of the district's transportation subcontractors.
