A former Pinellas County school bus driver was arrested Thursday after state investigators said they found child pornography on his computer.
William Eichenberger, 58, of 5685 35th Ave. N., of St. Petersburg, faces 10 counts of possession of child pornography.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement said it began investigating Eichenberger in August after identifying a computer at his residence sharing child pornography.
A search warrant was obtained for his home, and several files depicting child pornography were found on a computer, according to FDLE.
FDLE did not say whether the files depicted any children he may have encountered while he worked for the Pinellas school district.
Eichenberger worked for Pinellas County Schools for less than a year, said spokeswoman Melanie Marquez Parra. She said he had no criminal history when he was hired in 2005. In lieu of being recommended for dismissal because of improperly reported driving infractions, Eichenberger resigned in February 2006, Marquez Parra said.
Eichenberger was booked into the Pinellas County Jail with bail set at $200,000.
