Boy steals bus, takes fares
A 15-year-old boy stole a bus, drove it along a public transit route, picked up passengers and collected fares, authorities said Sunday.
“I drove that bus better than most of the LYNX drivers could,” the teen, who is too young to drive legally, told a deputy after he was stopped and arrested. “There isn't a scratch on it. I know how to start it, drive it, lower it, raise it.”
Davis had previously been charged for a similar bus theft. Passengers and deputies noted Davis drove the bus at normal speeds and made all the appropriate stops on the route. One passenger, suspicious of the youthful looks of the driver, called 911.
He was charged with grand theft auto and driving without a license. A court hearing was scheduled Tuesday to determine whether he will be charged as an adult.
If you're going to steal a bus, it would make sense to get a load of passengers, then go an a rampage before crashing over a cliff. He must have forgotten to act out the last part.
