Middlebury Man Accused of Stealing a School Bus in Naugatuck, Got the Idea From Social Media

An 18-year-old Middlebury man told police he allegedly stole a school bus from a South Main Street lot early Saturday because his fans wanted him to do it, and that he got the idea from social media, the Waterbury Republican-American reported. 

Police said Kevin Monagan, 18, of Pine Hollow Drive, is accused of taking a school bus from the Student Transportation of America’s bus lot, the paper reports. 

He allegedly drove it around town before being pulled over by police around 2 a.m. At the time, he was driving the bus with its headlights off but the hazard lights were on, the Republican-American reports. 

Monagan was charged with larceny and trespassing and was held on $25,000 bond.
