A Redwood City man was arrested Saturday morning after allegedly stealing a yellow school bus from a storage yard and ramming it into cars and other objects before attempting to flee on foot.

Santos Miguel Murillocuellas, 23, was taken into custody by an off-duty San Mateo County Sheriff’s deputy and booked into the San Mateo County Jail for vehicle theft, burglary, reckless driving, hit and run, and vandalism.

Shortly before 10 a.m., the Redwood City Police Department began receiving reports of a school bus driving erratically — hitting vehicles and other objects — near Woodside and Middlefield roads. A few minutes later, other callers reported that the bus had come to a stop on top of an above-ground PG&E transformer and that the suspect had fled on foot.

According to police, Murillocuellas was quickly taken into custody without incident and the Redwood City Fire Department and the utility company responded and cut power to the damaged transformer.
