A rebelling Nashville-area teenager stole a school bus and tried to run over a person at a service station moments before police say they could break into the bus and tase him.
The unidentified 14-year-old took the bus from Kipp College Prep in an Antioch neighborhood and went on a joy ride in West Nashville on Saturday around 4pm.
He made his way to a gas station where he collided with a diesel fuel pump and attempted to run over a pedestrian, according to Metro Nashville Police Department.
It's unclear when police started chasing the teenager but he then went on to strike another car while on the I-40 west.
Eventually, officers were able to slow down the bus, break the windows and user a taser on the teenager. It's clear how the teenager got the keys to the bus.
He was booked in juvenile detention.
Officers were traveling at a speed up to 65mph to stop the bus and used a spike strip to slow the bus down near exit 192.
'The teen evidently saw the spike strip, slowed the bus, and attempted to turn around in the middle of the west bound lanes,' police said.
But, the teen's getaway attempt was too slow and gave officers the opportunity to break into bus and capture him.
He was taken into custody and charged with evading arrest, vehicle theft, reckless driving, aggravated assault, leaving the scene of a crash, driving without a license and failure to report a crash.

“Teen.”
How descriptive.
The likely outcome of suicide is a seperate issue.
Them!
With all the bazar things going on someone needs to check the water this isn’t normal not that many people flip out that fast.
Or the cartels found a new item to pimp.
Our K-12 failed public school system combined with poor parenting or only one parent is screwing up kids.
LOL!!!
Well, not quite.
According to the link; this 14 year old driver is attending an "elementary school".
Do you think they "bullied" him about his age?
I have a solution for this and all the rest of the craziness, but folks won’t vote for me or write me in. When y’all get tired enough of all of it, let me we know.
Excitable boy, they all said.
Shaquanté...dat be you?
Are least it wasn’t a black assault vehicle.
There is also a Jr high.
“and attempted to run over a pedestrian.” He thought it was one of his teachers ;- )
Presumably the boy was from the 12% white or 11% Asian segments of the student body.
