Police: Teen Sentenced To Ride School Bus For Speeding Caught Speeding To Catch Bus
VALPARAISO, Ind. -- A teenager clocked driving at 93 mph in a 45 mph zone told police he had to get home in time to catch the school bus.
A judge had sentenced Ryan Henry, 18, to ride the bus to school after an earlier speeding conviction, and Henry said he was rushing home after going to a gas station to buy an energy drink, said Porter County Sheriff's Deputy Roger Bowles, who ticketed Henry.
Henry appeared to accelerate after passing a marked squad car, then turned into a driveway and shut off the lights to his 2001 Mustang, Bowles said.
Henry was given a ticket for misdemeanor reckless driving and ordered to appear in court April 16.
The Associated Press left a message Thursday at a number for the Henry family in Valparaiso, seeking a response.
