Bus hijacking in Utah

MAN who hijacked a Greyhound bus in Utah said he was taking it hundreds of miles to Nebraska - to run over his estranged wife’s mobile home.

Antonio Hernandez, aged 29, faces up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $200,000 when he is sentenced in February.

He admitted the offence and said in a court statement that he thought his wife was cheating on him. Both lived in Lexington, Nebraska.

Hernandez was captured just west of the Colorado state line after a half-hour stand-off with the Utah Highway Patrol. He told authorities he had been drinking tequila.
