BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - An 11-year-old has been arrested after allegedly stealing a school bus and taking it for a joyride.

Police say the young boy took the bus from Progress Head Start in the 300 block of Elmer Street. The Baton Rouge Police Department says the bus belongs to a private owner who subcontracts with Head Start. A spokesperson for BRPD says they believe the bus is a push to start.
