Darius McCollum is at it again. He was arrested by NYPD on a Van Wyck ramp in a stolen Trailways bus. The bus was stolen in Hoboken about 7 AM. Complete story:

They have to find a way to keep him locked away. One day he is going to hurt someone.

Since it was interstate (started in NJ and arrested in the bus in NY) it's a Federal matter.

Suspect Darius will spend a long stretch in a Federal prison.

Judging from the article, it sounds like it could've been made easier for him if he just got a job as a B/O or T/O.

30 years this kid has been doing these criminal stunts. Maybe some Federal charges and jail time in a Federal prison will do him some good.

This guy would get fired within a few hours of getting a job with transit.
He's a disaster.

He has clearly shown a propensity not to follow the rules. Discipline is required in a transportation environment.

The Asperger's excuse is weak - most people with this syndrome tend to follow the rules to a T, not break them.

The maximum sentence is 10 years in federal prison. See 18 USC 2312.

Looking at an unofficial sentencing guildeline calculator, they call for at least 57 months, but a sentence could go up to 105 months, depending on how much Trailways New York valued the bus.

(I'm expecting a sentence of about 6 years.)

He doesn't want a transit-related job, or any other kind of job. All he wants to do is steal equipment, trespass, and endanger the public. He is NOT a true bus fan or rail fan and never has been.

Especially since he has at least five stretches in state prison and probably more (the NY State DOCS system only covers the last five).
