Students Taken on Extended Bus Trip, Driver Charged
January 30, 2002
Thirteen students from a Pennsylvania private school went on an unexpected field trip last Thursday morning when their bus driver drove them 150 miles in the wrong direction. Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation charged the bus driver, Otto L. Nuss Jr., with kidnapping. Nuss drove the students to Prince George's County, Maryland instead of to the Berks Christian School in Birdsboro, Pennsylvania.
Nuss, 63, initially told the children they were going to see the White House, but after getting lost in Maryland, the man turned himself into local authorities. A loaded .308-caliber Springfield rifle with seventy-five rounds of ammunition was found behind the driver's seat. Concerned parents were reunited with their children in Prince George Thursday night. According to authorities, no one was harmed during the kidnapping. Investigators still do not know the motive behind Nuss' unauthorized trip.
