Bus driver halts trip, demands $
The Associated Press GROVE CITY, Pa. — A charter bus driver from Brooklyn, who allegedly stopped a Chicago-to-New York trip and demanded money from each of his passen- gers to continue it, was charged with disorderly conduct and related offenses, police said. Kai Chen, 44, was driving 25 people, including several small children, for a company called New Oriental Tours Inc., also out of Brooklyn, police said. He pulled into a Venango County rest stop along Interstate 80 late Sunday night, cursed at the passengers and demanded mon- ey from them to continue the trip, passengers told police. The passengers had already paid $2,800 for the trip and re- fused to pay more, so Chen took his keys and got off the bus, po- lice said. A backup driver who was also on the bus took over for Chen and continued the trip after Chen was arrested, police said. Chen was charged with disorderly conduct — a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail — and two citations, one for ha- rassment and the other for not properly filling out his log book. There is no telephone listing for New Oriental Tours in Brook- lyn. A phone number for Kai Chen in Brooklyn could not be ver- ified. Chen, who was freed after posting $500 bond, faces a Dec. 3 preliminary hearing before District Justice William Martin in Seneca.
20 years for B’klyn Bridge terrorist By Derrill Holly Associated Press A terror defendant accused of plotting to cut through the cables that support the Brooklyn Bridge was sen- tenced to 20 years in prison Tuesday by a judge who refused to let him withdraw his guilty plea. Iyman Faris was sentenced to 15 years for aiding and abetting terrorism, plus five years for conspiracy.
