SARASOTA, Fla. — The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) arrested a man in Sarasota after stealing a school bus and driving to Miami.

The driver, Daniel Saez, 32, of Land O’Lakes, was arrested and charged with grand theft auto and booked into the county jail.

Troopers stopped Saez early Sunday morning while he was driving the stolen Hillsborough County School District bus.

Saez stated he was high and drunk when he initially stole it, according to troopers. He drove it to Miami and was heading back to Tampa to return the bus.

He was stopped by troopers at the intersection of Jacaranda Boulevard and Executive Drive in Sarasota.

A South Tampa man turned to Susan Solves It after he said ADT told him he had to keep paying for a security system at his Hurricane Helene-damaged home, even though the system was so new that he never had a day of service.
