The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a complaint alleging that an officer pulled over a school bus outside his jurisdiction to give his son lunch.
Lt. Brian Keller is accused of using his unmarked black Dodge Charger with emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop on a school bus around 7 a.m. Tuesday in Johnsburg in McHenry County, the Chicago Tribune reports, citing a Johnsburg police report filed by the bus driver.
The report alleges the “purpose of the stop was to issue his son his lunch for the day.”
The Lake County Sheriff’s office said they are investigating the complaint, according to a statement from Undersheriff Raymond J. Rose.
“We received information regarding allegations of inappropriate actions by Lt. Brian Keller,” Rose said in a statement. “As a result of that, Sheriff Curran and I have ordered an internal investigation into the allegations.”
The Tribune reports the bus driver works for Durham Bus Service and the bus was transporting high school students to Marian Central Catholic High School in Woodstock.
