LENOX, Iowa —

A Lenox man has been charged with seven counts of child endangerment after allegedly watching a baseball game on his phone while driving a school van, authorities said.

A report from the Ringgold County Sheriff’s Office said Jesse Cox was transporting seven Diagonal students to a volleyball match last month. He allegedly watched the game during both the two-hour trip there and the drive home.

Cox was arrested Tuesday and bonded out the same day.
