Deputies in Miami-Dade County in Florida arrested a 23-year-old man last week, after they say he stole a school bus from a private lot and drove it around for an entire day.

 

 

And this wasn’t his first visit.  Employees told deputies they recognized him because he’d stolen a bus from the company before.

 

 

When they caught him, investigators say he initially claimed a man threatened his family and forced him to steal the bus.  But according to the arrest report, he admitted the bus was stolen for parts.

 

 

He said he kept it for a whole day because he thought he could get away with it.

 

 

The man was charged with grand theft auto, burglary, and fleeing and eluding.
