The bus reportedly pulled over, but then pulled away back onto Route 15 while “winding in and out of traffic lanes," authorities said.

Officials claimed the bus then left the highway and “drove over a berm, nearly overturning the bus.”

Witnesses provided a physical description of Saunders and police said they were able to apprehend the suspect, who was naked.

When talking with officers, police alleged Saunders admitted to taking the bus earlier in the day after he crashed a BMW. He said he placed a dead deer in the back of the bus and was planning on using it as “fertilizer for his garden,” authorities said.
