NH police arrest man who wouldn't return school bus

The Associated Press

FARMINGTON, N.H. — A New Hampshire man has been arrested after police said he refused to give back a school bus when he was fired.

Sixty-two-year-old Scott Leathe of Farmington was charged with receiving stolen property on Monday.

Lt. Kevin Willey said a school employee went to Leathe's house to collect the bus, but that Leathe would not give him the keys.

Willey told Foster's Daily Democrat he believes the confrontation happened as a result of a dispute between Leathe and the school district over severance pay. School officials did not return calls seeking comment.

Leathe's arraignment has been scheduled for May 1.
