14-YEAR-OLD ARRESTED ON I40 AFTER STEALING SCHOOL BUS

NASHVILLE, TN- A 14-year-old has been booked into Juvenile Court on multiple charges after stealing a school bus from Kipp College Prep on Murfreesboro Pike Saturday afternoon and recklessly driving into West Nashville and onto I-40 before being arrested.

The 14-year-old, who is in state custody and living at an Antioch residence, hit the diesel fuel pump at Casey’s Market on Centennial Boulevard just before 4 p.m. He is also alleged to have attempted to run over a person at the market.

The teen drove onto Briley Parkway and then onto I-40 West, hitting a car in the process. Officers pursued the bus on the interstate as it traveled at speeds of 60 to 65 mph. A spike strip was deployed near the McCrory Lane exit. The teen evidently saw the spike strip, slowed the bus, and attempted to turn around in the middle of the westbound lanes. Officers at that point ran up to the bus, broke out the door glass, and used a Taser as the teen was attempting to continue operating the bus. He was taken into custody without further incident.

The teen is now in juvenile detention on charges of vehicle theft, aggravated assault, evading arrest, reckless driving, driving without a license, leaving the scene of a crash, and failure to report a crash.
