Minn. school bus driver accused in child porn case

A bus driver for the Moorhead School District is accused of having child pornography on a computer in his home.

Dilworth Police Chief Dave Miller says 50-year-old Eric Gunnar Johnson was arrested outside a Moorhead school after a search of his home in Dilworth.

KFGO-AM of Fargo, N.D., reports Johnson is facing 13 counts. Miller says there's nothing to indicate that any of Johnson's passengers were in danger.

He says about 1,000 images were found on Johnson's computer. Johnson was not home during the search, and when police discovered he was a contract school bus driver, they decided to immediately arrest him.
