A Tennessee teen was arrested Saturday after he reportedly stole a school bus in Antioch, drove it around Nashville and then hit a car on I-40.   The 14-year-old took the bus from Kipp College Prep and then drove to West Nashville where he hit a diesel fuel pump. He’s also accused of trying to run someone over at the gas station.  Metro Nashville Police say the boy then drove onto I-40 west, where he hit a car.  Police deployed spike strips on the interstate and when the boy saw the strips, he tried to turn the bus around in the middle of the westbound lanes.  While he was doing that, police ran up to the bus, broke the glass door and hit the teen with a Taser. He was taken into custody and charged with vehicle theft, aggravated assault, evading arrest, reckless driving, driving without a license, leaving the scene of a crash, and failure to report a crash. He’s been placed in juvenile detention.
