Bus Bandit’s Big Plan Hits a Dead End

Bus Bandit’s Big Plan Hits a Dead End All Dogs Dream

Deputies say a Florida man stole a school bus and drove it around all day. Because apparently, keeping a low profile means driving a giant yellow confession

Twenty-three-year-old Erick Moore allegedly swiped it from Little Angels Bus Service. Employees recognized him because, they told deputies, he’d stolen a bus from them before. A repeat customer. Just terrible with returns.

When deputies tried pulling him over, Moore kept going—until he hit a dead end. His getaway plan apparently had the same designer as his life choices.

First, he claimed someone threatened to kill his family unless he stole the bus. Then came the story about stealing it for parts.

But why drive it around all day?

According to deputies, he admitted he thought he could get away with it.

Now he’s facing three felonies.
