DODGE CITY, Kan. (AP) — A 16-year-old boy is in custody after he led authorities on a chase through several counties in a stolen school bus.

Ford County authorities say they were notified Saturday about the bus being stolen out of Cheney in Sedgwick County.

Sheriff Bill Carr says the driver evaded deputies for several miles, driving west on and off county roads and Highway 54. The driver eventually stopped and surrendered near Kingsdown in Ford County.

Carr says the teenager was a runaway from another county.
