(WDLB) -A Marshfield bus driver pleaded innocent Wednesday to accusations he hosted an underage drinking party and made sexual advances on a 17-year-old girl, according to online court records.53-year-old Herbert Andres is charged in Wood County Circuit Court with one felony - sexual assault of a child by a person who works or volunteers with children - in connection with a New Years’ Eve drinking party. No trial date was immediately set. According to testimony during a preliminary hearing, Marshfield police began an investigation of Andres after an assistant principal at Marshfield High School reported he had been told a bus driver was "doing inappropriate things with students". Police were told Andres hosted parties at his house and provided alcohol to underage students, including on New Year's Eve.
One teen told investigators Andres was being "touchy," grabbed her inappropriately and tried to kiss her at the party. Andres acknowledged to investigators he had a New Year's Eve party but said he did not provide the minors with alcohol. Andres worked for Marshfield Bus Service at the time.
