Bus Driver Blamed for Teens Stealing School Bus

A school bus driver is receiving partial blame for three teens stealing a school bus in Nashville, TN. “Metro police are working to find the three teens who allegedly stole a school bus and then crashed it.

The suspects took the bus from Pearl Cohn High School on April 25. Surveillance video from inside the bus shows the teens cat-calling women, taking pictures and falling over. Metro police said two of the teens drove the bus, and one of them struck a utility pole, damaging the front passenger door.

The teens abandoned the bus around midnight near the intersection of 21st Avenue North and Meharry Boulevard. Metro Schools said the bus driver may be partially to blame. The activity bus is used for sports and field trips. Whoever drove it last left the doors unlocked and the keys inside.”
