CU Student Arrested in His Underwear in HCS Bus Garage

Thu, Oct 13, 2011

A Colgate student was arrested this morning wearing just his underwear while sleeping at the wheel of a bus inside the HCS bus garage.

HPD Chief Rick Gifford said Louis Patrick Webster, 19, of 730 Westmoreland St., Syracuse, was found asleep in the driver's seat of an HCS bus at about 5:30 this morning when the driver reported to work. The chief said the Webster awoke, grabbed his clothes off the floor of the bus garage and fled. Webster entered a locker-room; the door locked behind him when it closed, securing him in the locker-room until police arrived.

Gifford said Webster broke a window in the bus garage to get inside.

The chief added that Webster is believed to have been under the influence of some substance(s) -- including alcohol -- at the time of the incident.

Webster has been charged with fourth degree criminal mischief and third degree criminal trespass, both misdemeanors. He remains in the custody of HPD.

    Thanks to all who came to my aid on Thursday. It sure was a shock when I opened the door of the bus and found this man in my seat.
