A bus owned by Charla Fox, a driver who contracts to drive for the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation, was stolen about midnight today. Fox found that her bus was stolen when she went to the location where it is parked about 6:10 a.m. and it was not there. EVSC Office of Transportation was immediately notified.
Buses used to transport students for the EVSC have GPS and other technologies available on them, and the EVSC Office of Transportation, located the route the bus had driven, stops it had made and where it was currently in Ohio, then notified local law enforcement. Law enforcement in Ohio was notified and was able to find the bus from the GPS location the EVSC gave them, and arrest the driver, Christopher Whitney of Owensboro.
Fox is following up with the recovery of the bus and all other details associated with the theft.
