Cache Valley Transit Department bus driver, Steven Kenneth Naegle, has been arrested by North Park Police after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in the North Logan Walmart parking lot on January 16. The victim reported that Naegle approached her parked car, grabbed her breast, and shook it before leaving. Days later, on January 22, the victim found a note on her windshield from Naegle apologizing for the incident. Security footage from Walmart confirmed the victim’s account, leading to Naegle’s arrest on charges of sexual battery and stalking.
Naegle’s disturbing actions have raised concerns about passenger safety and the screening process for bus drivers. The Cache Valley Transit Department has not issued a statement regarding the incident but will likely face scrutiny over its hiring practices. It is essential for transit agencies to prioritize passenger safety and ensure that employees undergo thorough background checks to prevent incidents of assault and harassment. The victim’s bravery in coming forward has led to Naegle’s arrest, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of speaking out against inappropriate behavior. Authorities are urging anyone with information about Naegle or similar incidents to come forward to prevent further harm.
