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 Hardee County grandmother is on trial this week for leaving her 7-month-old granddaughter in a hot car where the baby died —the second grandchild to die under Tracey Nix's care. ABC Action News I-Team Reporter Kylie McGivern sat down with Kaila Nix just days ahead of her mother's trial for aggravated manslaughter.
