NORTH ADAMS, Mass. (AP) - Police say a 17-year-old North Adams youth stole a school bus so he could visit his mother in another town.
Brandon Bolte pleaded not guilty on Monday in Northern Berkshire District Court to charges of larceny of a motor vehicle and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
Police say Bolte climbed into the open window of a bus parked in Adams on Sunday. The keys were in the ignition.
The North Adams Transcript reports that he told police he drove to Richmond, more than 20 miles away, to visit his biological mother.
Bolte's grandmother called Pittsfield Police after 5 p.m. and told then her grandson was on his way back to Adams. He was pulled over there.
The bus wasn't damaged.
