Dover authorities have arrested a school bus driver after surveillance video captured him engaging in sexual activity with a woman on his bus while parked in a residential area.

Alvin Rohm, 62, of Dover, faces charges of patronizing a prostitute within 1,000 feet of a school, residence, church or other place, as well as lewdness, according to Dover Police.

The investigation began when a local school district employee was examining bus video footage as part of an unrelated matter on January 6th, 2026. During that review, the employee discovered recordings that showed Rohm collecting a woman near the intersection of Governors Avenue and Loockerman Street before driving to Jerusalem Way.

According to Lt. Mark Hoffman, Dover Police Public Information Officer, the video evidence showed Rohm participating in sexual acts with the woman and exchanging money for those services while the bus was parked on Jerusalem Way.

Police clarify that Rohm was not directly employed by the school district but rather worked for a private company that provides transportation services under contract.

School officials immediately turned over the video evidence to Dover Police, who launched their own investigation into the matter.

Authorities took Rohm into custody on January 12th without any complications. He was subsequently released on his own recognizance bond pending further court proceedings.

The case highlights the importance of surveillance systems on school buses and the ongoing oversight of contracted transportation services in the Dover area.
