Stealing a vehicle is never okay, but usually if someone is going to risk their future and their life by doing something so stupid, they are going to go after a nice, expensive car. However, one DFW man decided to go a different route recently, stealing a DART bus and taking it for a joyride. Video of the alleged crime went viral on Monday, showing the bus crashing into several parked cars while driving down a Dallas neighborhood street.
On Sunday, a DART paratransit vehicle was stolen from DART’s paratransit headquarters in Dallas. The alleged criminal hot-wired the bus and took it out for a spin, eventually crashing into several parked cars and a bicyclist as well. Luckily no one was harmed, and the man was eventually arrested near Good Latimer Expressway and Central Expressway.
According to Fox 4 News, the man has been charged with felony unauthorized use of a vehicle and resisting arrest. He is currently being held at the Dallas Jail without bond. Clearly, this joyride was not worth it.
