Naked man driving stolen school bus with dead deer inside leads police on chase

ADAMS COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — A strange situation spanning Adams, York, and Cumberland Counties in Pennsylvania happened early Tuesday morning.

According to Carroll Township Police Department, police received a call on Tuesday about seeing a stolen bus being driven by Tony Saunders in Dillsburg at around 7:10 a.m.

Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) in Gettysburg reported the same stolen bus and to "be on the lookout" especially in York and Adams Counties.

Officials say officers on patrol spotted the stolen bus driving through a Giant Foods and Rite Aid parking lot.

The school bus then turned west onto W. Siddonsburg Rd. and entermeted Rt. 15 North.

Authorities say they later caught up to Saunders.

At first, officers say the bus pulled over near the PA Turnpike but shortly after pulled away, starting a chase with police.

Authorities say the bus later passed an exit for Lower Allen Dr. and exited the highway.

At this point, police say Saunders then drove over a berm, almost flipping the bus.

Saunders then drove the vehicle onto Gettysburg Drive and turned into a nearby neighborhood, where he exited the bus and ran from police.

Officers say as Saunders ran, he stripped off his clothes until he was fully naked, running through numerous parking lots and busy traffic areas.

Police say Saunders was then arrested nude and later admitted to taking the bus earlier Tuesday morning after crashing a BMW vehicle.

According to law enforcement, Saunders also admitted to placing a dead deer inside the bus and was attempting to drive it to his home to use as fertilizer for his garden.

Saunders is currently being held at the York County Prison for fleeing an officer, receiving stolen property, reckless driving, and resisting arrest.
