Neb. partygoer accused of driving limo bus home

[August 23, 2011]  LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Authorities say a Nebraska partygoer passed out in the bathroom of a limousine bus and later drove the 40-foot-long vehicle home, but left his wallet behind -- in a pair of jeans.

Lincoln police say the $80,000 bus was found a few blocks from Steven Hunter's home Saturday afternoon. Capt. David Biggs says the 30-year-old doesn't remember driving the bus. He's charged with criminal mischief and unauthorized vehicle use.

Police say Hunter was likely asleep when the bus was taken back to Leisure Limousine Service around 3:30 a.m. Investigators believe that when he woke up, he realized the doors were locked, saw the keys and drove home. The jeans were found in the bathroom.

A phone number for Hunter's address couldn't be found Monday. Online court records didn't list an attorney.
