Court documents say Rodriguez bypassed mandatory bus inspections by providing their vehicle identification numbers to Jose Pablo Rios.

Court documents say Rios works at an inspection shop and input the identification numbers into the Texas Department of Public Safety system, which then created a government record.

The district previously announced a second employee was arrested in connection to the investigation, but that employee was later cleared of any wrongdoing.
