NEW YORK—Darius McCollum is at is again. The Manhattan resident who tried stealing a Long Island Rail Road train in 2005 plead guilty on July 1 for possession of a stolen bus. He was arrested while driving the bus in 2010.
“The defendant is not a licensed bus driver and this case could have been tragic if he had struck and killed a pedestrian or another motorist,” said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown, in a press release.
He stole the Trailways passenger bus early in the morning from a depot in Hoboken, New Jersey, then drove it to Queens.
As an already convicted felon, McCollum, 48, is facing two-and-a-half to five years in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for July 17.
