Teenager arrested after chase involving stolen school bus

 


DODGE CITY, Kan. (AP) — A 16-year-old boy is in custody after he led authorities on a chase through several counties in a stolen school bus, authorities said.

The incident began Saturday morning when the bus was stolen in Cheney, in Sedgwick County, and was seen heading west on Highway 54.

Ford County Sheriff Bill Carr said deputies tried to stop the bus near Bloom but the driver evaded law enforcement for several miles by driving on and off county roads and Highway 54. He eventually surrendered without incident near Kingsdown in Ford County.

The driver was a runaway from another county, Carr said.

He faces possible charges of fleeing and eluding, aggravated assault on an officer, use of deadly weapon, criminal damage, driving without a license, possession of stolen property and several traffic violations, Carr said.
