In Jan. 2023, police in Livingston responded to a report of a break-in and during a search of a backpack at the home, found a Saudi Arabian passport with the name Bader Alzaharani, US Attorney Philip Sellinger said.
Two days later, a Livingston school bus was reported stolen from a parking lot across the street from the home where the break-in occurred, Sellinger said. Alzahrani was located in Stroudsburg, PA, and police recovered the keys to the stolen school bus, Sellinger said.
Alzaharani pleaded guilty to interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle and faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison when he is sentenced next month, Sellinger said.
