1. He hotwired an abandoned bus and took out 100 people from NO
His bus was the first bus to arrive at the Astrodome.

He had never driven a bus in his life and will probably be charged with looting.

13. I believe the NOPD told him to go ahead and take it
He heroically picked 70 plus people here I the way. Never drove a bus before. He's my hero too

6. If I remember correctly
He is the 18 year old young man who came upon an empty bus in NOLA several days ago and picked up many stranded people and drove them to Houston. Kind of a local hero that might get charged with stealing the bus.
