Weird Crime: Supernatural Road Trip to Walmart

Panama City, Florida

In the early morning hours of June 24, 2014, employees of an area Walmart called police to report that a vehicle was awkwardly moving through their parking lot. This normally wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary (especially at a Walmart in Florida), but in this summertime instance, the vehicle was school bus.

When police arrived on the scene, they pulled up behind the bus and turned on their emergency lights. To their amazement, a 12-year-old kid named Michael Wade Propst exited the vehicle. He quickly explained to the officers that the driver was actually a man named 'Constantine' and they were just stopping for gas.

...along with some cigarettes...and maybe few mystical artifacts.

After that story didn't hold up, the boy finally admitted to stealing the bus, which he found at a bus driver's home 14 miles away (with the keys still inside it). Security footage from the bus also showed that the kid was a pro at driving the thing...except for the $2,000 worth of damage he caused during his trip.

Michael Wade Propst was arrested and charged with grand theft over $100,000 and felony criminal mischief. He was taken to the department of Juvenile Justice for processing. When his mother was contacted by the police, she asked them to talk to her son because "she was not having any impact on him."

Hopefully, his time in juvie includes

lots of important life lessons...and a haircut.
